Infinera Features End-to-End Digital OTN Networking and 100 Gigabit Ethernet at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo
October 18 2010 - 4:12PM
Marketwired
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) will feature two live demonstrations
illustrating the advanced capabilities of an Infinera Digital
Optical Network at this year's SCTE Cable-Tec Expo.
SCTE Cable-Tec Expo runs from Wednesday, October 20th through
Friday, October 22nd at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New
Orleans, Louisiana.
Infinera will demonstrate its Digital OTN capabilities with a
demonstration of end-to-end Digital OTN switching on a combined
Infinera DTN- ATN network at the Infinera booth. Infinera offers
what it believes to be the most complete OTN implementation in the
industry, with OTN grooming and switching at every node in the
network, to maximize service reconfigurability and network
performance monitoring throughout the network, and deliver
increased network bandwidth efficiency. Infinera's DTN and ATN
platforms provide a seamless OTN network supporting point-and-click
provisioning across the metro edge, metro core, and long haul
segments of the optical network.
In a second live demonstration, Infinera will transport a 100
Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) signal from an EXFO test set to an
Infinera DTN with a 100GbE module, through fiber, and then looped
back to the Infinera DTN, and back to the test set to confirm the
signal integrity. The prototype Infinera 100GbE interfaces are
fully compliant with the industry standard ratified in June 2010,
known as IEEE 802.3ba. Testing and verification of the transmission
will be performed with an EXFO FTB-85 100 Gigabit/second (Gb/s)
Packet Blazer tester.
"We are pleased to showcase EXFO's FTB85100G Packet Blazer, the
industry's first portable 100Gb/s Ethernet tester, at SCTE
Cable-Tec together with Infinera, an industry-leading provider of
Digital Optical Network solutions," said Étienne Gagnon, EXFO's
Vice-President -- Wireline Division and Corporate Marketing.
In the Expo area at the show, Infinera product and technology
experts will be available at booth #337 to discuss the Infinera
product families, the ATN and DTN, and the latest upgrades that
deliver new features and functionality. With ATN R2.0, Infinera
continues to enhance the capabilities of the ATN and its
interworking with the DTN to deliver an end-to-end seamless network
from the metro edge to the core.
Infinera provides Digital Optical Networks solutions to a broad
range of customers worldwide, including all five of the largest
cable providers in the United States. Today Infinera announced a
new Infinera deployment by Midcontinent Communications, to bring
the speed, ease of use, and intelligence of an Infinera Digital
Optical Networks to the customers of the largest independent cable
provider in the Upper Midwest. (See today's related news release,

"Infinera solutions are valued by cable MSOs for their ability
to accelerate and simplify service turn-up while delivering
enhanced scalability and flexibility to meet the growing demands of
triple-play services, and, increasingly, commercial services as
MSOs broaden their business strategies," said Gaylord Hart,
Infinera Director of Marketing.
