Fujitsu delivers sustainable terabit networking with launch of 1FINITY

Fujitsu today announced the launch of its 1FINITY Ultra Optical System, a hyper-reliable optical transport platform delivering extreme performance and scalability with data rates of 1.2 terabits per second (Tbps) on a single wavelength, with future upgrade to 1.6 Tbps. Fujitsu will launch the new platform in the first half of 2023 to communications service providers (CSPs) and cloud infrastructure providers (CIPs) globally, starting with customers in Japan, North America, as well as throughout Europe where Fujitsu recently expanded availability of its full line of optical, wireless and networking software solutions.

The next generation system features a digital signal processor (DSP) using latest semiconductor processes and liquid cooling technology with twice the cooling capacity of conventional technology. It further utilizes latest technologies including Fujitsu’s continuous C+L ROADM architecture (1) able to handle multiple wavelength bands in a single product, as well as the optical signal amplification technology forward Raman amplification (2). These features allow the new system to reduce carbon emissions compared to similar platforms, while maintaining high data rates of 1.2 Tbps on a single wavelength and 40% greater reach than that of conventional systems.

This launch demonstrates how Fujitsu continues to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by expanding resilient network infrastructure that can respond to the rapid increase in data traffic due to increased demand for IoT and big data processing, while simultaneously reducing power consumption and achieving a 60% reduction of CO2 emissions throughout networks.
