We are committed to helping SURF prepare its network for the upgrade of CERN’s particle accelerator, and look forward to working with other research and education networks around the world to advance their missions and enable cutting-edge discoveries.” Tristan Suerink, IT-Architect at Nikhef, said: "The 800Gbit/s technology demonstrated together with SURF and Nokia, shows us that getting the data from the HL-LHC at CERN to Amsterdam will be very feasible.
Successful test demonstrates that SURF can increase the capacity of existing network infrastructure to handle some of the largest data exchanges in the world, and shows the interoperability and performance of Nokia's PSE-6s super-coherent optics.15 April 2024Espoo, Finland – Nokia and SURF, the collaborative organisation for IT in Dutch education and research, have successfully reached a single carrier 800Gb/s optical transmission over SURF’s existing cross border, multi-vendor research and education network infrastructure.
By emphasizing testing and the adoption of advanced technology, SURF ensures optimal service and support for its research partners' innovative, data-heavy projects and applications.” James Watt, Vice President and General Manager, Optical Networks at Nokia, said: "Groundbreaking test events like this show how networks can play an essential role in initiatives that help unlock the secrets of the universe, and the role they play enhances our ability to learn and grow as a civilization.
