BT<\/a> has launched a 10Gbps “hyper-fast” broadband trial network in a live working environment.<\/p>\n

Cornwall-based engineering firm, Arcol<\/a>, is the test site for deployment of the new technology, where the service runs in tandem with the company\u2019s existing 330Mbps service on the same fibre.<\/p>\n

The proof-of-concept trial uses new fibre technology called XGPON (Tens of Gibabits on a Passive Optical Network) developed by electronics company ZTE<\/a>, in partnership with Openreach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to BT, the demonstration aims to show how even faster speeds could be provided over Cornwall\u2019s new fibre infrastructure in the future, by upgrading the electronics at the exchange and in user premises.<\/p>\n

Potential speeds are so fast that the physical limits of the networking and computer equipment prevent the line from being used at its maximum capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the direct link between the Truro exchange and Arcol runs at 10Gbps, the company isn\u2019t connected to the wider internet at those speeds as there is nothing that can be done on the web with 10Gbps,\u201d BT said in a press statement.<\/p>\n
