Infinera Digital Optical Network Deployed by Cox Communications for Northern Virginia Metro Network
June 24 2008 - 12:00PM
Marketwired
SUNNYVALE, CA announced today that Cox Northern Virginia has
deployed an Infinera Digital Optical Network for its metropolitan
network. Based on pioneering large-scale photonic integrated
circuits (PICs), Infinera's Digital Optical Network enables Cox to
deliver services with industry-leading speed, simplicity, and
flexibility.
The advanced features of an Infinera Digital Optical Network
give Cox the ability to deliver voice, video and data service in
its core metro network. Infinera's Bandwidth Virtualization(TM)
architecture enables a variety of data rates and protocols, from
155 Megabits/second up to 10 Gigabits/second (Gb/s) and 40 Gb/s,
and Ethernet and SONET, to be delivered over the same optical
infrastructure with little or no optical re-engineering.
Interchangeable client-side optical modules enable a mix of new
services to be deployed simply and cost-effectively anywhere in the
network at any time. Infinera's GMPLS-powered service intelligence
enables services and network resources to be configured in
software. The result is a dramatic reduction in time required to
implement service upgrades -- from weeks or months to just days,
hours, or even minutes.
Speed, Scalability, and Reliability
The advanced features of the Infinera Digital Optical Network
provide the scalability and reliability to deliver high-quality
services and manage the challenges of changing or growing bandwidth
demand. Infinera's unique PIC-based architecture puts 100 Gb/s of
optical capacity on every line card. Infinera's new ILS2 line
system will offer future scalability of up to 8 Terabits/second of
capacity on an optical fiber, enough to carry more than 400,000
individual HDTV signals down a single optical fiber smaller than
the width of a human hair. The Infinera system offers integrated
switching and optical transport and the digital multicast
capability, making it simple and cost-effective to accommodate
large or shifting demands for video-on-demand and television
services.
Cox's Northern Virginia metro network is linked to the company's
12,000 mile long-haul Infinera Digital Optical Network that extends
from coast to coast, enabling Cox to deliver leading-edge services
including voice, video and data to all of its markets.
"Consumers are demanding more services from their providers in
an increasingly competitive environment. The Infinera network
enables us to be fast, flexible, and highly responsive to our
customers," said Cox Northern Virginia Vice President of Network
Operations Darryl Ladd.
"We are very pleased to support Cox Northern Virginia with a
state-of-the-art Infinera Digital Optical Network," said Infinera
CEO Jagdeep Singh. "Infinera is focused on innovation that enables
faster, more flexible optical networks that can support the unique
demands of today's businesses and consumers."
