Infinera Express Rolls Across Europe
April 28 2009 - 4:00AM
Marketwired
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) is on the move in Europe this spring with
the Infinera Express, a mobile demonstration unit equipped with
state-of-the-art Infinera networking systems. The Infinera Express
begins its European tour today in London. Future stops include
locations in the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Italy and Benelux.
The Infinera Express is fitted out with the latest Infinera
systems to bring the Infinera Digital Optical Networking experience
to any customer's doorstep. Based on the world's first commercially
available large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs), the
Infinera DTN delivers 160 wavelengths today with scalability up to
8 Terabits/second on a fiber. The Infinera PIC delivers significant
benefits in scalability, density, speed of operations, and energy
efficiency. Infinera systems use Infinera's Bandwidth
Virtualization(TM) architecture that is designed to deliver any
service, including 40 Gigabit/second (Gb/s) services today and
future 100 Gb/s services, over any network infrastructure.
The Infinera Express is also equipped with the Infinera
Management Suite, a powerful and scalable software suite that
enables network deployment, provisioning, and performance
monitoring. Infinera's GMPLS-powered network management automates
many of the processes involved in managing and configuring
networks. The Infinera Network Planning System enables graphical
modeling, planning, and configuration capabilities for designing
Infinera Digital Optical Network solutions.
All these tools can be demonstrated on the Infinera Express. In
addition, Infinera engineers can demonstrate the simplicity and
speed of the Infinera system, which enables the deployment of large
optical networks with a few mouse clicks. The demonstration shows
how 100 Gigabits of optical capacity can be turned up and
operational in four minutes or less. Visitors are encouraged to try
turning up and configuring optical capacity themselves on an
Infinera link in the Express.
"The Infinera Express is fully equipped to provide customers
with a hands-on experience of the Infinera DTN and the Infinera
Management Suite," said Tom Schmitt, Infinera Vice President for
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "It's a powerful demonstration
of the digital features and capabilities of the Infinera
architecture right on a customer's doorstep."
Infinera Momentum in Europe
Infinera's US mobile demo unit has been on the road for more
than a year in the US, where it clocked up more than 20,000 miles
and contributed to more than $20 million of Infinera revenue last
year. After securing the number one position in long-haul networks
in North America in 2007 and 2008 (source: Ovum), Infinera is
focused on winning customers and market share in Europe and other
key markets. In the past year Infinera has won new customers in
Europe including Deutsche Telekom, OTEGlobe, and EU Networks.
