Nortel Hyperconnectivity Blog

By Phil March 30, 2008 8:22 pm

Nortel has added a new blog to the Nortel Blogshere; the Nortel Hyperconnectivity Blog. It is at www.hyperconnectivity.com and will focus on posts about the events driving and being driven by the Hyperconnectivity phenomenon.

The blog will look at the Hyperconnectivity revolution from the view of Nortel's key initiatives addressing the Hyperconnectivity challenge - UC, WiMAX, 40G and Telepresence. The intent of this blog is to introduce a variety of topics that center around Hyperconnectivity and will enable the dialog to be much faster.

For example, recent posts discuss the challenge of working (and playing/living) in the Hyperconnected world and whether the business value of telepresence is real or not. Also, the posts on wireless technologies in the 4G world herald the promise of tuly having broadband everywhere.

I put the link up in my blogrole, so it will be there in the future.

  1. […] Phil Edholm said the blog, written by Alex Lewis and Carl Longino, will “look at the Hyperconnectivity revolution from the view of Nortel’s key initiatives addressing the Hyperconnectivity challenge - UC, WiMAX, 40G and Telepresence.

  1. …UC, WiMAX, 40G and Telepresence…
    It should be 4G

  2. It was intended to point out the 40Gig optical capabilities over existing fiber that Nortel has innovated.

  3. Phil, splitting hairs here.

    40Gig is now possible where there once was 10GigE, but it is 4 individual 10GigE on the same lightwave real estate, not one single concatenated 40GigE pipe, correct?

  4. Good to see another Nortel blog on the scene. You need to correct the link for www.hyperconnectivity.com. There’s an extra http://.

  5. Actually it is a 40Gig single pipe made possible by modulating the light to increase the bandwidth density in the photonic space. The technology uses DPQPSK and dispersion management to enable longer distances and closer spacing than can be achieved with other 40Gig technologies. It also provides a path to 100 Gig. Essentially if you use simple optical modulation, at 40Gig you lose distance (due to dispersion) or spacing (due to the spread), so what the Nortel optical team did was use techniques developed for advanced wireless bandwidth in the optical domain to achieve a breakthrough in both bandwidth and distance. This is a good article on the technology: http://telephonyonline.com/access/news/nortel-40g-100g-0311/.

  6. I see on the fibre it is treated as 4 bits per baud on 10G. From a provisioning PoV on the OM6500 I could provision a single 40 GigE pipe and route all traffic through it, or would I need to provision it in 10 GigE chunks, or could I do either? It should be possible to “split” the signal into 10 GigE chunks if one wanted to, correct?
