Ah ok, so according to the article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-16265-x.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-16265-x.pdf), > To dramatically increase bandwidthcapacity, ultrahigh capacity transmission links employ massivelyparallel wavelength division multiplexing and > All of this is driving the need forincreasingly compact, low-cost and energy-efficient solutions and > The ability to supply all wavelengths with a single, compact integrated chip,replacing many parallel lasers, will offer the greatest benefits So it's not really so much news in the sense that existing speeds over fiber have been improved, but instead in the sense that the speed produced by this single chip is a viable compact, low-cost and energy-efficient alternative to many parallel chips
