Infinera DTN Receives BGR Diamond Technology Award

SUNNYVALE, CA announced today that the Infinera DTN has received
a 4-Diamond rating in Broadband Gear Report's (BGR) 2008 Diamond
Technology Reviews. This prestigious award recognizes innovative
product achievements in the broadband sector.
The 4-Diamond rating denotes an "excellent product with
technical features and performance that provide clear and
substantial benefits." The Diamond Technology Awards are decided by
a panel of independent judges including engineering executives from
Bresnan Communications, Charter Communications, Suddenlink, Time
Warner Cable, and other industry leaders.
The Infinera DTN digital ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop
Multiplexer) leverages large-scale photonic integration technology
to deliver a scalable optical transport platform that offers
greater speed of installation and deployment, enhanced flexibility,
and simplified operations. With transport and digital bandwidth
management integrated into a single platform, the DTN digital ROADM
offers greater bandwidth efficiency, supports the switching and
grooming of traffic at the sub-wavelength level, and eliminates the
complexities of optical layer engineering that arise in traditional
optical ROADM-based networks.
"The Diamond Technology Reviews' judging panel found Infinera's
DTN digital ROADM solution to be 'ahead of its time.' They gave it
high marks for its ability to cost-effectively drive high-speed
digital optic signaling deeper into the network," says Laura
Hamilton, editor-in-chief at BGR.
The digital architecture enabled by Infinera's innovative design
utilizes Bandwidth Virtualization(TM). With this architecture, an
operator's network creates a pool of available bandwidth that can
be used to deliver any service, anywhere in the network, at any
time. This capability is achieved by decoupling services from the
optical network layer, which dramatically increases the speed and
flexibility of the network and eliminates the need for significant
optical layer re-engineering when adding new services or upgrading
the network.
"The Infinera Digital ROADM system has brought value to many
cable providers through the scalability, flexibility and
operational simplicity of Infinera's digital architecture; and we
are very pleased to be honored and recognized by Broadband Gear
Report and the Diamond Technology judges," said Gaylord Hart,
Infinera Marketing Director for the cable sector.
Infinera will be at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo show which begins
tomorrow. Infinera representatives will be at Booth #123 in Section
1 of the Exhibit Hall, and will be available to discuss Infinera
products and technologies with visitors. This year's Infinera booth
will feature Infinera's new line system, ILS2, and a 100 Gigabit
Ethernet demo. For further details see related news release,

Cable-Tec Expo takes place from Tuesday June 24th to Friday June
27th at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. The
Exhibit Hall opens on Wednesday at 2pm.
