Japanese telecommunications giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. announced today that it has developed a prototype chip that it believes will one day be able to significantly increase data transfer speeds in data centers and undersea fiber optic cables.
The company said its extremely compact new baseband amplifier IC module boasts 100 gigahertz ultra-wideband performance and is designed for use with future all-photonic network technologies, including the emerging infrastructure of innovative optical and wireless networks and 6G networks. It is a key element of these future networks, NTT says, as they will require an ultra-wideband signal amplification function to remove distortion.
NTT explained that IOWN’s core optical networks will be able to achieve transmission rates of more than 2 terabits per second, but require a baseband amplifier IC module to amplify the signal.
