Abstract

The ultra-high-speed data transmission multi-user equipment (EMU) aims to provide the scientific and industrial community of the State of São Paulo and its national and international partners with an experimental apparatus in the area of high-speed data transmission, in line with the state-of-the-art of technology. The EMU supports technologies that are at the heart of the Internet and the information society in which we live. The equipment includes an optical transmitter and receiver for signals with rates above 120 GBd, a configuration not yet available in Latin America. It also includes a vector network analyzer for sub-THz signals for current 5G networks and future 6G networks. The EMU continues a more than a 50-year effort by the São Paulo and Brazilian governments to generate science and technology in the area of high-speed data transmission, repositioning the State's laboratory infrastructure in the area. The proposing groups represent a portion of the national scientific community with very high scientific relevance and with an extensive history of industrial collaborations in the area. The proposal is supported by four associated projects working in the area of photonic technologies, optical networks, smart cities, and next-generation networks. It is expected that the EMU can also be of great use to the highly complex local industry working in the area of high-speed data communications, both in the use of the available infrastructure for the characterization of technologies and in the training of personnel.
