Mexican telecommunications company Megacable said on Wednesday it executed a successful long-distance optical transmission test with Finnish telecom equipment supplier Nokia as it aims to scale up the capacity of its network. The transmission test reached 1.1 Terabits per second (Tbps), Megacable said in a news release, calling it "the first optical channel of this capacity to be implemented in an active network of a single operator in Latin America." Megacable, which provides pay TV, internet and telephone services in Mexico, has been working with Nokia to increase its long-distance data transmission speeds to interconnect its data centers for improved fiber optic connectivity to its users.
