Infinera Auto-Lambda Radically Simplifies Distributed Access Architecture for Cable Networks
October 17 2017 - 8:00AM
Infinera, the leading provider of Intelligent Transport Networks,
introduced Auto-Lambda, a new technology designed to radically
simplify Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) for cable network
operators, at Cable-Tec Expo 2017. Relentless subscriber demand for
high-speed access to cloud-based services is driving cable network
operators to new fiber-deep architectures that push fiber closer to
the user. DAA offers cable operators a once-in-a-decade
architectural shift that accelerates high-speed subscriber access.
Fiber-deep architectures like DAA increase the number of 10
gigabits per second (Gb/s) access network end-points by an order of
magnitude. Auto-Lambda simplifies 10 Gb/s deployments for DAA while
reducing spares holding costs.
Infinera Auto-Lambda technology builds on the company’s
experience deploying optical networks for several of the top cable
operators across North America and Europe. Infinera’s solutions for
cable operators include the XTM II for packet-optical metro access
and aggregation applications, and the XT-3300, featuring the
industry-leading Infinite Capacity Engine 4 (ICE4), for dense
wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) long-haul and metro
transport applications.
Auto-Lambda provides autotuneable 10 Gb/s DWDM and features many
industry firsts for optical cable access networks, including up to
80-kilometer reach, single-fiber operation and host independence.
Host independence enables support for both the Remote PHY and
Remote MAC/PHY devices found in DAA.
“Cable operators across the globe see DAA as a once-in-a-decade
architectural shift required to stay ahead of direct fiber
competitors. DAA requires rolling out hundreds of thousands, if not
millions, of remote devices over the next few years, and extending
fiber connectivity to them. Thus, optical networks play a critical
role in DAA,” said Sterling Perrin, Principal Analyst at Heavy
Reading. “Technologies like Infinera’s Auto-Lambda, which radically
simplifies wavelength provisioning, will be critical to the
operational success of this new architecture.”
“With our history of innovation in DWDM access and cable
networks, we are excited to directly address DAA,” said Sten
Nordell, CTO, Infinera Metro Business Group. “Auto-Lambda
demonstrates our ability to greatly simplify access network
operations for next-generation cable network architectures.”
Meet Infinera in booth #2146 at Cable-Tec Expo, held at the
Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado from October 18 to
20, to learn more about Infinera’s solutions for cable operators.
Cable network operators can contact Infinera to arrange a
demonstration. Infinera Auto-Lambda is planned for availability in
the XTM Series in the first half of 2018.
