I recall the earlier story, basically a prototype/proof of concept. I suspect this was a formal write-up. A popularized account is here.

This online article was interesting in that the Comments included more than one response by Bo Thidé, a principal researcher who worked at implementation for four years. However all I could gather about the resulting capacity was that "4 channels" were demonstrated, with speculation that up to 11 channels would be "economically feasible".

The new announcement is given some historical perspective in this "newsy" IOP webpage. The experiments don't seem to be apple-to-apple comparisons since Thidé et al worked with "low-frequency" radio waves and Alan Willner's USC team is using laser pulses.
