On Monday, Nokia announced that it had achieved 800 Gb/s (gigabit per second) throughput on the existing optical network of SURF, the association of Dutch universities and high-level teaching centers in the field of technological research.

The telecom equipment supplier reports that the test was successfully carried out on a 1648 km fiber axis linking Amsterdam and Geneva, through Belgium and France.

This innovation comes at a time when SURF is preparing its network for the future commissioning, scheduled for 2029, of Cern's Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC).

While the world's largest particle gas pedal has already enabled the discovery of a new elementary particle, the Higgs Boson, the HL-LHC project aims to push its performance to the limit and encourage new discoveries in fundamental physics.
