Abstract
Forward error correction (FEC) has been used to improve the bit error rate performance of a 5 Gbit/s 9000 km erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) transmission line. The results using a 5 Gbit/s prototype optical transmission terminal showed extremely small penalty in BER performance after 9000 km transmission
