For years, multiplexing multiple high-capacity channels has effectively met growing data needs. However, the rapid rise in global data traffic—driven in part by the emergence of AI—now requires ultra-high data rates (800 Gb/s and beyond) to be transmitted reliably over distances of several hundred kilometres or more.
