Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) will provide a live demonstration of its
new ATN metro WDM edge platform and its interworking with
Infinera's market-leading DTN platform at the 2009 SCTE Expo, the
leading trade show for the cable television industry. The new ATN
platform brings the benefits of Infinera's Digital Optical Networks
architecture to the edge of the network, providing cable operators
with a seamless end-to-end managed WDM solution. The DTN platform
is well established as a class-leading digital transport solution
for cable networks. With the introduction of the compact and
flexible ATN, Infinera now provides an end-to-end solution for
cable operators as well as traditional carriers. Infinera products
are now carrying live traffic across all segments of the DWDM
market.
The Infinera ATN live demonstration will be on display at
Infinera's booth no. 15089 at the Society of Cable
Telecommunications Engineers 2009 SCTE Expo, which begins
Wednesday, Oct. 28th in Denver.
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 service visibility. By
eliminating back-to-back transponders at network interconnection
points, an ATN/DTN network delivers savings in capital
expenditures, 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 video and broadband backhaul,
commercial service extension and data center connectivity. 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
expenditures.
The Infinera ATN is a compact, metro optical transport platform
delivering up to 40 DWDM or 8 CWDM wavelengths on a single fiber
pair. Utilizing flexible Service Interface Modules (SIMs) with
fully pluggable line-side and client-side interfaces, 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 these benefits to the metro
edge.
Infinera has already won six customers for the new ATN platform,
including one of the top five US cable operators. With networks in
the US and overseas, Infinera's ATN customers represent a broad
range of optical network operators, including cable operators,
telecom carriers, and Internet content providers.
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."
"Infinera solutions provide the simplicity, efficiency speed,
and scalability to help cable providers offer the triple-play and
other services their customers demand today," said Infinera CEO
Jagdeep Singh. "The ATN extends the benefits of Infinera's Digital
Optical Networks deeper into their metro networks. 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 SCTE Cable-Tec Expo
Infinera will be hosting customers and other visitors at our
booth at the SCTE Expo, Booth no. 15089, at the Colorado Convention
Center, Denver, from Wednesday Oct. 28th through Friday Oct. 30th.
At the SCTE Expo, 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 end-to-end CATV 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.
