Yokogawa Electric (TSE: 6841) has announced that it has successfully demonstrated the transmission of video data using a 40Gbps optical packet networking system it has prototyped.
The system consists of a 40Gbps optical packet switch with optical buffering functionality and an optical media manager device, allowing each PC terminal to directly exchange data over a high-speed optical packet network.
The prototype network enables 10 PC users to simultaneously access a server and download 2-hour DVD video data in approximately 10 seconds.
Yokogawa Electric plans to commercialize the system in 2006, aiming to generate sales of 100 billion yen ($980.4 mil) in optical communications devices in 2010.
The company is disclosing the experiment results at the FIBER OPTICS EXPO (FOE) 2005 (January 19 E21, Tokyo Big Sight).
