Infinera Expands Open Optical Portfolio to Include Latest Generation of 400G Pluggable Optics
May 04 2021 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today the availability of
metro-optimized 400G pluggable optics-based solutions for the XTM
Series and GX Series Compact Modular Platforms, bringing enhanced
flexibility and economics to metro networks. The new capabilities
complement the company’s 600G/800G embedded optics technology,
enabling network operators to cost-effectively scale their networks
to meet the relentless growth of bandwidth with optimized optical
networking solutions from the edge to the core.
The new XTM Series Enhanced 400G Flexponder module and GX Series
CHM1R Open ROADM-compliant dual-400G sled will support a broad
range of 400G pluggable optics, including 400G XR/ZR+ optics. In
addition to point-to-point applications, the XTM and GX will
leverage the point-to-multipoint capabilities of XR optics to
substantially simplify networks and drive down costs. The
combination of 400G support across both platforms enables network
operators to support optimized solutions across both 300 mm- and
600 mm-deep network infrastructure with industry-leading low power
and high density.
“The move to 400G in metro/regional optimized DWDM platforms is
a major step that we welcome,” said Dave Eddy, Chief Operating
Officer at Neos Networks. “Our extensive U.K. network is built on
the XTM Series, and 400G capabilities provide Neos Networks with
another option for those segments in our network that see the
highest demand. We look forward to capitalising on this technology
in our network to enable the company to maintain its position of
running one of the most advanced optical networks across the
U.K.”
“Pluggable optics have always been at the heart of our metro
strategy, and over the years we have achieved many industry firsts
with the use of pluggable optics in transport platforms,” said
Glenn Laxdal, Senior Vice President, Global Product Line Management
at Infinera. “Expanding our capabilities to include the latest
generation of 400G optics, combined with our industry-leading
600G/800G optics, provides customers with best-in-class solutions
to address applications across their networks.”
