Field trial of a 1.5 Tb/s adaptive and gridless OXC supporting elastic 1000-fold bandwidth granularity

An adaptive gridless OXC is demonstrated using field fiber. The OXC adapts its architecture on demand to switch variable type signals in frequency, time and space domain with 1000-fold bandwidth granularity and 1.5 Tb/s throughput.
