Using WDM or Wave Divison Multiplexing technology, Bell Labs have created a new milestone by using over 150 lasers running at different wave lengths and pushing through 100Gb/s on each wave length.

This will increase the high demand of todays bandwidth and will raise the bar for future technology advancements.

New special transceivers were needed to be made to be able to separate and detangle the information coming in and out of the fiber cable.
