2038Km and four 50GHz OADM/filters transmission field trial of 115.2 Gb/s coherent CoFDM modem in the Telstra network

We present results of a 115.2 Gb/s, coherent frequency division multiplexed (CoFDM) transceiver across a 2038 km link in the Telstra network. The link had 50 GHz channel spacing and the transceiver traversed four (50 GHz spaced) OADM sites.
