The Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network (ORION) has successfully completed the first North American field test of a high-capacity 400G live research, education and innovation (RE&I) network.  Last week's test in Ontario marks the first time a dedicated RE&I network in North America has completed a 400G trial.  The test on the ORION network was conducted with Alcatel-Lucent between ORION's Point of Presence (PoP) on Front Street in downtown Toronto and another PoP located inside York University's campus in North York.
