Mac,

As the channel spacing narrows, its ability to carry the bit rate is reduced. In theory, a 1G channel spacing is limited to a 1G bit rate. The bottom line is that we are quickly approaching fundamental limits of bandwidth over fiber.

Ciena has announced that it will have a 320 channel system next year using its proprietary Bragg fiber grating technology.
