Japanese telecommunications giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. today announced it has developed a prototype chip that it believes will one day be able to deliver a significant boost in data transfer speeds within data centers and undersea fiber optic cables. The company said its extremely compact new baseband amplifier integrated circuit module boasts an ultra-broadband performance of 100 gigahertz and is designed to be used with future all-photonics network technologies, including the nascent Innovative Optical and Wireless Network infrastructure and 6G networks. It’s a key element of those future networks, NTT says, because they will require ultra-broadband signal amplification functionality to eliminate distortion.
