1 trillion bits per second—by 2015, with the ultimate goal of enabling 100 Terabit Ethernet by 2020. physorg.com Tomorrow's Internet: 1,000 times faster October 21, 2010 Imagine if all the data traversing the world right now -- on long distance networks and between and within computers and other hardware -- could be sent through a single fiber the width of a human hair. A new research center has been launched at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to make that a reality. Researchers with the Terabit Optical Ethernet Center (TOEC) will develop the technology necessary for a new generation of Ethernet a thousand times faster, and much more energy efficient, than today's most advanced networks. They are aiming for 1 Terabit Ethernet over optical fiber -- 1 trillion bits per second—by 2015, with the ultimate goal of enabling 100 Terabit Ethernet by 2020. Partnering with TOEC as founding industry affiliates are Google Inc., Verizon, Intel, Agilent Technologies and Rockwell Collins Inc. Internet traffic is booming, as businesses and institutions handle massive quantities of data and consumers stream video, share high-resolution photos and battle it out in online games. Millions of people will soon be consuming billions of bits per second in their living rooms, all at the same time. "We're going to need much faster networking to handle the explosion in Internet traffic and support new large-scale applications like cloud computing," says Daniel Blumenthal, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCSB and Director of TOEC, which is part of UCSB's Institute for Energy Efficiency (IEE). "The work that will be conducted at TOEC will enable the future of the Internet," says Stuart Elby, Vice President of Network Architecture for Verizon. Ethernet, the way computers talk to each other over a network, has become the de facto standard for data transmission both on a small scale and across global networks. "It's an accepted, flexible interface," says Internet pioneer David Farber, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and former Chief Technologist for the Federal Communications Commission. Ethernet is constantly evolving, but soon—in as little as five years, according to some estimates—it won't be able to keep up with the speed and bandwidth required for applications like video and cloud computing, and distributed data storage. "Based on current traffic growth, it's clear that 1 Terabit per second trunks will be needed in the near future," Elby says.

Before that architecture will change. Today+s Internet is too US-Europe centric All that copper gone (couldn't avoid!) it will be ported to Fiber. Money will be in service. Not in the infrastructure.

Infinera to Spell Out Terabit Networking Vision at Cannes Conference Terabit PICs and FlexChannels to Improve Capacity, Economics Press Release Source: Infinera On Thursday April 7, 2011, 12:00 pm SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - 04/07/11) - Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN - News) today announces a vision to continue leading the industry in implementing the Terabit Age, and expand its Digital Optical Networks solutions with a range of new technologies that will enable service providers and network operators to scale their networks to multi-Terabits of capacity. Next Tuesday, April 12th, Infinera Director of Solutions and Technology Geoff Bennett will spell out the company's vision of how networks evolve to the Terabit Age in a presentation at the Layer123 Terabit Optical Networking Conference in Cannes, France. Network traffic continues to grow at double-digit and triple-digit rates, driven by a wide range of bandwidth-hungry applications including new business applications for the network, and growing personal use of video, broadband mobile access, and other innovative internet applications. Businesses are deploying cloud computing solutions, relying on networks and ever-larger data centers to deliver economies in their IT budgets. Growing bandwidth availability for mobile networks has created a mobile revolution, with more than 1.6 billion mobile phones in use in China and India, equivalent to more than one phone for every two people. According to research firm Telegeography, in 2010 international Internet traffic grew by 62%(1) with some regions including Eastern Europe and India/South Asia growing at more than 100%. This exponential growth places new demands on optical networks, requiring them to scale network capacity quickly and seamlessly to accommodate growing data traffic. As the leader in Digital Optical Networks, Infinera is developing the technology to meet these challenges. As a first step, Infinera plans to further scale its industry-leading photonic integrated circuits to support 1 Terabit/second (1Tb/s) capacity per chip. These Terabit PICs will enable the future productization of systems with integrated bandwidth management and WDM transport delivering multi-Terabits of capacity, maximizing system density, lowering space use, and significantly simplifying increases in network capacity. The 1Tb/s photonic integrated circuits will enable service providers to deploy bandwidth using a new form of flexible WDM channel termed FlexChannels. Infinera Digital Optical Networks will in the future support FlexChannels with 1Tb/s of capacity, increasing by tenfold the "capacity per channel" over 100Gb/s systems that are being introduced into the market today. Infinera's Terabit FlexChannels will be designed to utilize advanced multi-carrier, coherent phase modulation to maximize optical reach and total fiber capacity. By leveraging Infinera's FlexCoherent technology, which allows software-controlled modulation, Terabit FlexChannels will be configurable to support different modulation types, different number of carriers, and flexible WDM spectrum use, enabling WDM capacity to scale up to 25Tb/s per fiber. Even greater capacities will be possible in the future through the extension of WDM system operation across more of the fiber spectrum. Infinera's 1Tb/s FlexChannels will be integrated as part of Infinera's next generation multi-Terabit networking solutions. "Pioneered by Infinera, large-scale photonic integration has already demonstrated the ability to scale network capacity with great benefits in functionality, cost, size, and power consumption. The extension of photonic integration into the terabit realm will help carriers meet the bandwidth challenges of the next decade," said Heavy Reading analyst Sterling Perrin. Based on the Digital Optical Networks architecture, Infinera optical systems deliver a set of digital features and functionality, including Digital ROADM capabilities, Bandwidth Virtualization to support the deployment of bandwidth to deliver any service between any two points on the network, and end-to-end Digital OTN services. The Digital Optical Networks paradigm enables customers to build fast, flexible and scalable networks for the 21st century, and achieve superior economics in their networks.
