As the driving force behind the evolution of Nokia's optical transport product portfolio, the PSE-6s supports the efficient delivery of high-speed services, including 800 Gigabit Ethernet (GE), over distances of 2,000 km and beyond. The PSE-6s will be unveiled for the first time at MWC 2023 in Barcelona and again at OFC in San Diego next month.
According to research firm Cignal.ai, network capacity deployed over coherent optics is expected to grow at a rate of over 40 percent annually in the next four years, driven by more network connections, faster bandwidth speeds, and new applications.
Nokia PSE-6 optical engines support a unique chip-to-chip interface, enabling paired deployments to power the industry's first coherent 2.4Tb/s transport solution. This allows network operators to efficiently transport any combination of high-speed customer services, including 400 and 800GE. With three times the throughput, PSE-6 platforms support the transport of 800GE services in metropolitan and data center interconnect (DCI) applications, and with a range of 2,000 km and more, across long-haul networks and transoceanic cables
