Zayo Bandwidth Selects Infinera for Northeastern Network
May 22 2008 - 12:14PM
Marketwired
SUNNYVALE, CA for its regional network in the Northeastern U.S.
Infinera will bring the speed, responsiveness and flexibility of an
Infinera Digital Optical Network to Zayo's business, giving Zayo
contiguous service from Chicago to New York and Washington, DC.
Based in Louisville, Colorado, Zayo Bandwidth, a Zayo Group
business, operates regional networks in the Northeast, Midwest,
Minnesota and the Memphis, Tennessee area. Zayo offers a wide range
of telecom services including private line, Ethernet, wavelength,
Internet and colocation services to customers in the telecom,
enterprise and government sectors and other bandwidth-intensive
organizations. Zayo has raised more than $340 million in private
equity and debt financing to support an aggressive plan to provide
telecom services in selected regional markets where demand is
growing rapidly.
Zayo has deployed Infinera in the busy northeastern corridor
from New York to Washington, DC as well as interconnecting Chicago
to the east coast to serve the increasing bandwidth requirements of
its customers. Zayo chose Infinera because the Infinera Digital
ROADM offers high capacity and integrated, reconfigurable
switching, enabling Zayo to provision or reconfigure bandwidth
quickly and cost-effectively.
"The Infinera system is very easy to provision and operate,"
commented Zayo Bandwidth Vice President of Engineering Troy Kau. He
added: "Zayo Bandwidth's mission is to be responsive, and Infinera
enables us to be agile and configure our network quickly to meet
the needs of our customers."
"Zayo has a visionary business plan to offer the latest
technology and great customer service to its customers and we are
delighted to support their efforts with an Infinera Digital Optical
Network," said Infinera CEO Jagdeep Singh.
The Infinera DTN system is based on Infinera's innovative
large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs), which integrate
more than 60 optical devices on a pair of chips, to enable an
optical system with 100 Gigabits/second (Gb/s) of capacity on every
line card. The PIC-based system enables Infinera's Bandwidth
Virtualization, an architecture where a wide range of services,
from 1 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s today, and 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s services in
the future, can be quickly provisioned and reconfigured from a pool
of readily available bandwidth which is installed in 100 Gb/s
increments.
The Infinera DTN is a Digital ROADM for long-haul and metro core
networks, combining high-capacity DWDM transport, integrated
digital bandwidth management, and GMPLS-powered service
intelligence in a single platform.
