ALT Colt Technology News Colt Technology Services and networking innovator Ciena have successfully completed a historic quantum-resistant data transmission test, which is a major step forward for global digital infrastructure. In the global fight to protect vital communication channels from the looming threat of quantum computing, this trial marks a significant turning point. The test was carried out along the transatlantic corridor that connects New York and London, one of the most important and frequently used digital routes in the world. The Architecture of the Milestone Using a combination of deep-sea undersea cables and terrestrial fiber networks, the trial covered an enormous 6,900 kilometers. The test attained data transmission speeds of 800 Gigabits per second (Gbps) despite the enormous distance and route complexity. The state-of-the-art in coherent optical technology, the Ciena WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) platform, enabled this performance.
