Colt Deploys Infinera to Deliver Low Latency Routes in Europe

Marketwired
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today that Colt has deployed
Infinera low-latency optical networking systems to support low
latency services on its next generation pan-European network. With
Infinera systems optimized to deliver substantial reductions in
latency and the benefit of new direct fiber routes, Colt is now
offering services with a measured latency of 4.22 milliseconds
between London and Frankfurt and 2.65 milliseconds between Paris
and Brussels.
Infinera low-latency solutions are engineered to provide
significantly lower latency than conventional DWDM solutions
through the use of innovative optics and electronics that drive
latency out of the optical network. Infinera's low-latency
solutions facilitate the delivery of native wavelengths across the
optical network, as well as other important data and storage
protocols for applications including business continuity and
disaster recovery. Like all Infinera networks, Infinera low-latency
networks provide industry-leading levels of reliability and 24x7
customer support.
Infinera's Digital Optical Networks architecture enables the
rapid deployment, fast provisioning, and simple, quick and
cost-effective operation of the optical network. Infinera's
GMPLS-powered management software provides for end-to-end
management of the optical network and the provisioning of services
quickly and accurately with a minimum of human intervention.
"When it comes to succeeding in the financial markets,
technology -- including the underpinning network -- is what drives
competitive advantage. Colt addresses the need to be ahead of the
game with its FastNet Ultra Portfolio. We've chosen Infinera for
our next generation network, and our new low-latency networks
between major financial centers, to give our customers the
performance, quality and reliability they expect," said Terry
Quigley, Head of Industry Practices at Colt. Headquartered in
London, Colt operates a 25,000 kilometer pan-European network
spanning 13 countries, providing business communications and IT
managed services to thousands of customers across Europe.
"We've worked closely with Colt to customize a solution to
deliver the lowest possible latency to the Colt network," said
Infinera vice president for network strategy Chris Liou. "As the
leader in digital optical networking, our focus is on using
innovative technologies to deliver new solutions and competitive
advantages to our customers, and we are pleased Colt has deployed
Infinera's unique Bandwidth Virtualization solution and low-latency
technologies to enable highly differentiated low-latency services
within Europe, including 1GbE and 10GbE and beyond."
Infinera ranked second worldwide in long-haul optical networking
revenue in the first quarter of 2010 according to independent
analyst reports. In the second quarter, Infinera posted revenue of
$111 million, a 62% increase over the year-earlier figure. Demand
has grown for low-latency solutions with the worldwide growth of
algorithm-based trading of financial products. Low-latency networks
can provide a competitive advantage in today's financial markets
where prices change constantly and related securities trade in many
different financial centers.
