Abstract :
Two wavelength division multiplexed soliton pulse trains (2*2 Gbit/s 0101. . .) have been propagated more than 9000 km with less than 10-9 bit error rate for both channels. Soliton collisions have no effect on the error rate for wavelength separations larger than 7 AA or for collisions centred inside the fibre.
