6.9.2022 11:41:37 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
NTT Corporation (NTT, Head office: Chiyoda-ku Tokyo; President & CEO: Akira Shimada) has developed a digital coherent signal processing circuit and optical device that achieves the world's largest capacity of 1.2 Tbit/s per wavelength for optical transmission, which is 1.5 times faster than before. With this development, NTT tackles the challenge of achieving advanced optical transmission technology that can economically and significantly expand the capacity of existing systems while reducing the power consumption of communication devices.
The technology has also achieved the world’s highest optical signal modulation speed of 140 Giga baud and enables double the previous world record optical transmission distance of 800 Gbit/s. As a result, the capacity of optical transmission systems will increase by 12 times and the power consumption per bit will be reduced to 10% of the widely used commercial system. The improvements in the performance and power consumption of optical transmission systems should contribute to the All-Photonics Network foundational to the IOWN1 concept.
Our digital coherent signal processing circuit combines cutting-edge coded modulation with transmission performance approaching the theoretical limit and newly developed forward error correction that can correct bit errors in large amounts of data with low power consumption. This results in flexible coded modulation that maximizes the potential of high-speed optical devices. Furthermore, by utilizing a power-efficient algorithm to equalize signal distortion in the optical fiber transmission channel and the advanced CMOS processes, we have achieved a digital signal processing of 1.2 Tbit/s per wavelength with low power consumption.
The transceiver consists of a cutting-edge digital coherent signal processing circuit and a 140-Giga baud class optical device with the world's widest-class opto-electrical response bandwidth. In our approach, by increasing the modulation speed from 100 Giga baud to 140 Giga baud, higher resistance to waveform distortion and optical amplification noise caused by transmission could be achieved. As a result, the previous record transmission distance of 800 Gbit/s signals can be extended by more than twice that of the 100 Giga baud devices.
Toward the development of IOWN, NTT aims to create an innovative network with high capacity, low latency, flexibility, and low power consumption by continuing to expand and develop end-to-end photonics technology. We will promote the creation of economical, large-capacity, low-power-consumption networks by leveraging advanced optical transmission systems based on innovative technology. We also intend to collaborate with both international and domestic partners so that our developments can be valuable and beneficial for communities worldwide.

NIQ Launches Product Intelligence to Power AI-Driven Commerce2.6.2026 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
New solution structures and enriches fragmented product data to help brands and retailers fuel AI discovery, recommendations, and agentic commerce NielsenIQ (NYSE: NIQ) today announced the launch of NIQ Product Intelligence, a new solution designed to help retailers and brands transform fragmented product data into structured, interoperable intelligence that fuels AI-driven commerce. As AI increasingly shapes how consumers discover, evaluate, and purchase products, the quality and completeness of product data have become a defining competitive advantage. In AI-mediated commerce environments, products that lack structured, enriched, and machine-readable data risk becoming invisible to recommendation engines, AI assistants, and autonomous purchasing agents. NIQ Product Intelligence addresses this challenge by creating a unified product intelligence layer that standardizes attributes, resolves product identity across systems, and enriches product data at scale, enabling AI systems to bett
