Norrsken First to Deploy Infinera XTM II and 400G Flexponder, Delivering New 100G Services Across Sweden
October 31 2017 - 8:00AM
Infinera, the leading provider of Intelligent Transport
Networks, announced that Norrsken, a Sweden-based regional
operator, is the first to deploy the Infinera XTM II and the
recently released 400G Flexponder, delivering new 100 gigabits per
second (Gb/s) services to leading internet service providers and
carriers. Infinera’s XTM II and 400G Flexponder enable Norrsken to
deliver high-capacity, low-latency 200 Gb/s transport across Sweden
with industry-leading low power consumption and a small
footprint.
Norrsken operates a regional network in Sweden providing Layer 1
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) services and Layer 2
Ethernet services. Internet service providers, carriers and other
customers rely on the Norrsken network to ensure high resiliency by
using a main route along the coast of Sweden and a redundancy route
inland along the western border of the country.
With the XTM II platform and 400G Flexponder, network operators
like Norrsken can activate multiple 200 Gb/s wavelengths on a
fiber, providing up to an eightfold density increase and a
reduction in power per gigabit of 3.5 times over the previous
generation of 100 Gb/s technology. The compact XTM II platform
provides Norrsken with a highly flexible, open and
software-programmable packet-optical solution for its services.
“We are excited to be the first carrier to deploy Infinera’s
newly released XTM II platform and the new 400G Flexponder,” said
Björn Jonsson, CEO at Norrsken. “This state-of-the-art network
upgrade allows us to expand our end-user offerings to include 100
Gb/s services and scale to meet increasing traffic demands from our
rapidly growing customer base. This upgrade delivers higher
capacity, higher density, ultra-low latency and lower power
consumption while keeping our existing chassis and protecting our
network investments with this market-leading packet-optical
platform.”
“The XTM II platform is the ideal solution for Norrsken’s
network upgrade,” said Karl Thedéen, Senior Vice President,
Metro Business Group, Infinera. “By delivering the 400G Flexponder
as committed to the market and upgrading Norrsken’s network to the
XTM II platform as planned, Infinera is helping Norrsken benefit
from industry-leading innovation, meet mounting customer demands
and win in its market.”
The Infinera XTM II provides the lowest power consumption in the
industry for 200 Gb/s transport at less than 20 watts per 100 Gb/s,
while retaining excellent density and low latency for
high-performance applications. The Infinera 400G Flexponder is the
first of a range of 16QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) modules
for the XTM II platform.
Infinera collaborated with local partner Fiberdata AB in Sweden
on Norrsken's network upgrade.
