SUNNYVALE, Calif. and
STOCKHOLM, April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinera, provider
of Intelligent Transport Networks, and Telia Carrier, a leading
global wholesale carrier, announced the extension of Telia
Carrier's North American optical network to bring 100 gigabit per
second (Gb/s) services into its Bay Area metro markets with the
Infinera TM-Series. In addition, Infinera and Telia Carrier
announced a second Infinera DTN-X based low latency 'Pacific Coast
Highway' route between the San Francisco
Bay Area and Los Angeles.
This super highway connects the Internet Content superpowers of the
Bay Area with the entertainment and media giants of Hollywood. By providing market leading latency
and redundancy between Silicon Valley and the Pacific cable landing
points in Los Angeles, Telia
Carrier enhances connectivity between the two major West coast
media, entertainment and Internet hubs and clears an additional
path for Asia-Pac traffic entering and leaving the U.S. via key
submarine cable landing stations in Los
Angeles.
Telia Carrier now utilizes an end-to-end Infinera Intelligent
Transport Network, from long-haul to metro, as the foundation of
its leading 'built from the ground-up' network infrastructure. With
Infinera's leading optical solutions, Telia Carrier has quickly
expanded globally and was recently recognized as the number one
Internet Protocol (IP) Transit Provider in the U.S. in Dyn's 2015
'Baker's Dozen' report. With its new Metro 100G capabilities
and second 'Pacific Coast Highway' route enhancements, Telia
Carrier is eliminating unpredictability of capacity availability
for its partners and customers, and living up to its promise to its
customers to become "The Backbone of Your Business."
Infinera has a track record of supporting Telia Carrier with
network 'firsts.' Telia Carrier was the first network operator in
North America to deploy the
Infinera DTN-X Family with Instant Bandwidth and the first network
operator to test a terabit super-channel on a live network. Now
Telia Carrier is the first announced provider to extend a
nationwide DTN-X network by deploying Infinera's TM-Series for
Metro 100G at scale. The Infinera TM-Series will provide the Telia
Carrier metro network with a 100G packet-optical platform featuring
multi-service capabilities including the ability to support MEF 2.0
certified Ethernet services, mobile fronthaul, wholesale bandwidth
and metro aggregation. The solution offers a unified network
management layer across DTN-X and TM-Series and programmable
software defined networking (SDN) application programming
interfaces (APIs) to enable rapid service.
"The West Coast is a critical network segment in the U.S. and we
are adding an additional route to further enhance customer
experience in the region. The Infinera TM-Series makes the
economics of 100G work. This metro solution brings with it the
benefits of an integrated, low-power and space-saving design.
More and more of our customers are doing the math and
working out that now is the time to invest in 100G. And thanks to
Infinera, we are ready for them," said Mattias Fridström, Chief
Technology Officer at Telia Carrier.
"Telia Carrier now has an end-to-end unified Infinera
Intelligent Transport Network that is optimized for scale,
operational simplicity, and to accelerate network service delivery
to Telia Carrier's customers," said Bob
Jandro, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales at Infinera.
"Telia Carrier's expanding deployment of Infinera's end-to-end
solutions underscores the value we bring to our customers across
the globe."
