"Our latest innovation represents a true game-changer for global connectivity," Joe Scattareggia, Windstream Wholesale president, said in a prepared statement. "By partnering with two extraordinary leaders in the industry, we're enabling unprecedented bandwidth capabilities that are essential for driving AI-powered applications worldwide for our customers."
According to Windstream, Nokia, and Colt, the 800G doubles typical capacity to support advanced network applications, including AI data center networking, content delivery networks, and financial data hub connections.
The trial project involved connecting one of Colt's Transatlantic subsea cables and part of its terrestrial fiber optic network with Windstream Wholesale's domestic U.S. low-latency optical fiber Intelligent Converged Optical Network (ICON), ICON being used to monitor performance and speed.
With the successful trial complete, the three organizations are exploring options to bring 800GbE connectivity services to market for global businesses.
