Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) is unveiling its new ATN metro WDM edge
platform to bring the benefits of Infinera's Digital Optical
Networks architecture to the edge of the network, providing service
providers with a seamless end-to-end managed WDM solution. With the
introduction of the compact and flexible ATN today and the Infinera
submarine solution last month, Infinera now provides end-to-end
optical networks capability. Infinera products are now carrying
live traffic in all segments of the DWDM market: metro,
regional/long-haul, and submarine.
The Infinera ATN will be on display in a live demo at Infinera's
booth no. 2609 at the Supercomm 2009 trade show, which begins
Wednesday, Oct. 21st in Chicago.
The ATN is designed to offer seamless integration with an
Infinera DTN network with a common network management system,
enabling end-to-end service provisioning and visibility. By
eliminating back-to-back transponders at network interconnection
points, an ATN/DTN network delivers savings in capital expenditure,
while extending Infinera's well-known ease of operation to the
metro edge. An ATN network, in combination with a DTN network can
offer end-to-end integrated OTN bandwidth management for traffic
transiting the network, leveraging Infinera's integrated digital
bandwidth management. The ATN also provides a best-in-class,
high-density platform for stand-alone metro C/DWDM applications,
including data center connectivity, commercial services extension
and broadband backhaul. The ease of operation and powerful
management software provide robust network management options from
the smallest to the largest networks, enabling operators to
minimize network operational expenditure.
The Infinera ATN is a compact, metro optical transport platform
delivering up to 40 DWDM or 8 CWDM wavelengths on a single fiber
pair. Implementing flexible Service Interface Modules (SIMs) with
all line-side and client-side interfaces pluggable, the ATN offers
flexible configurations to simplify and accelerate network
deployment. The ATN has been designed to offer best-in-class
density and power consumption in a small form factor. It is
designed to support all metro transport services, including
Ethernet, SAN, SONET/SDH, OTN and video services.
Network Efficiency
Infinera's digital architecture has brought new efficiency to
core optical networks: Infinera's Bandwidth Virtualization(TM)
ensures that bandwidth resources in the core network can be
allocated to carry any available service between any points on the
network, thereby increasing network flexibility and utilization
rates, and minimizing stranded bandwidth. By interconnecting ATN
and DTN networks, the ATN extends those efficiency and flexibility
benefits to the metro edge.
Infinera has already won six customers for the new ATN platform,
including wins in the U.S. and overseas. These ATN customers
represent a broad range of optical network operators, including
telecom carriers, cable operators, and Internet content providers.
Deltacom, a leading provider of integrated communications services
in the southeastern U.S., has deployed the Infinera ATN in several
of its metro markets. Deltacom already operates a long-haul DTN
network across the southeastern U.S. After looking at a number of
metro platforms, Deltacom selected the Infinera ATN because of its
space and power efficiency, broad range of services supported, and
the power of a combined ATN/DTN network. "We are pleased to
integrate the Infinera ATN, with its rapid bandwidth augmentation
capabilities, into our metro network, enabling Deltacom to quickly
and reliably respond to customer demand and continue to expand our
reach across our southeastern markets," commented Jim O'Brien,
Deltacom's Executive Vice President of Operations.
According to independent market analyst firm Ovum, worldwide
revenue in the metro DWDM market in 2008 was $3.6 billion, with a
forecast average annual growth rate of 13% over the next six years.
The introduction of the ATN enables Infinera to address the full
metro market. "Infinera's ATN metro platform effectively doubles
Infinera's addressable market while also strengthening its value
proposition," said Ovum Vice-President for Network Infrastructure
Dana Cooperson. "In-house development of the platform promises
capital and expense efficiencies from tight coupling of the ATN and
DTN in critical areas like service and network management and
physical interworking, but the platform stands on its own as
well."
"Our customers have embraced the simplicity, efficiency and
speed of the Digital Optical Network," said Infinera CEO Jagdeep
Singh. "They have asked us for solutions to extend the Infinera
benefits deeper into their metro network. We're very happy to
provide our newest platform, the ATN, to make an end-to-end,
tightly integrated Infinera network a reality."
Infinera at Supercomm
Infinera will be hosting customers and other visitors at our
booth at Supercomm, Booth no. 2609, at McCormick Place, Chicago,
from Wednesday, Oct. 21st to Friday, Oct. 23rd. At Supercomm, we
will feature a live demonstration of ATN/DTN interworking, showing
the ease of use and power of end-to-end circuit provisioning with
an Infinera network. Infinera sales and technical experts will be
available to provide updates on Infinera solutions for submarine
networks and middle-mile broadband stimulus networks, as well as
Infinera's world-leading photonic integration technology. To book
an appointment, please contact your Infinera sales representative
or email us at info@infinera.com.
