Infinera Enables Rapid Activation of High-capacity Services with its Intelligent Transport Network in Latin America
July 10 2017 - 8:00AM
Infinera, a provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, announced
that Telxius, the global telecommunications infrastructure company
created by Telefónica, now offers its customers on-demand
software-defined terabit capacity subsea service activation on
Telxius’ SAM-1 subsea network between the U.S., Brazil and Puerto
Rico. These on-demand services are enabled by
Infinera’s Instant Bandwidth software, activating capacity on
the Intelligent Transport Network deployed by Telxius.
Telxius manages a 65,000-kilometer (km) international network of
high-capacity fiber-optic subsea cables, of which 31,000 km are
owned by Telxius. Telxius owns and operates the SAM-1 subsea
network connecting the U.S. with Central America and South America,
where Infinera solutions are deployed, as well as in the
terrestrial backhaul associated with them. The 25,000-km SAM-1
subsea network provides capacity and IP services to major service
providers aiming at having the best access to more than 300 million
Telefónica subscribers.
The Infinera DTN-X XTC Series provides the foundation for the
Intelligent Transport Network delivering terabit per second
transmission capacity for Telxius. The XTC Series simplifies
network operations with high-capacity optical super-channels
enabled by Infinera’s unique large-scale photonic integrated
circuits and integrated packet-aware Optical Transport Network
(OTN) switching, offering the flexibility to simultaneously address
both subsea and terrestrial networks. With Infinera Instant
Bandwidth, the industry’s first software defined capacity (SDC)
solution, Telxius can deploy bandwidth in 100 gigabits per second
increments without having to pre-deploy additional line cards in
the system.
“Our customers demand rapid activation of high-capacity
services,” said Carlos Dasi, CTO of Telxius Cable. “Infinera’s
Intelligent Transport Network with Instant Bandwidth enables
Telxius to offer highly differentiated, on-demand subsea terabit
service activation to our customers.”
“Telxius’ on-demand subsea service offering underscores the
value Intelligent Transport Networks and Instant Bandwidth deliver
to global service providers,” said Scott Jackson, Infinera Vice
President, Subsea Business Group. “We are delighted to work with
Telxius and to enable innovative services that help them win new
customers.”
Infinera Instant Bandwidth is used by over 60 customers around
the world and is the industry’s first SDC solution. Infinera
Instant Network, the next generation of SDC for cloud scale
networks, enables service providers to automate optical capacity
engineering and scale optical capacity in minutes by using
Infinera’s Xceed and Digital Network Administrator (DNA) software.
SDC provides the foundation to deliver cognitive networking and
enables network operators to rapidly provision additional capacity
with an on-demand, success-based business model. SDC helps service
providers differentiate their offerings by shortening provisioning
times, accelerating service delivery and reducing time to
revenue.
