Marketwired
Infracom, a leading Italian service provider offering a wide range
of telecom and data services to large enterprises and service
providers, has chosen Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) for an upgrade to its
backbone network.
Based in Verona, and with branches throughout Italy including
Milan, Florence, Imola, and Rome, Infracom offers an extensive
range of services in the Italian market, covering all aspects of
communications, networking, and IT, including managed services and
outsourced services. Infracom's assets include a 9,000 kilometer
backbone network connecting major cities throughout Italy including
Turin, Milan, Padua, Bologna, Rome, Naples and Bari. Infracom
customers include large and small enterprises in industries
including banking, insurance, public administration, health care,
telecom and media.
Infracom selected an Infinera DTN Digital ROADM network for the
scalability, speed, and flexibility of Infinera's Digital Optical
Networks architecture. With the Infinera DTN network, Infracom can
deliver services from 1 Gigabit/second (Gb/s) to 40Gb/s today and
100Gb/s in the future in a matter of days, instead of the weeks or
months typically required by traditional DWDM systems. Infinera
systems powered by photonic integrated circuits are designed to
deliver up to 8 Terabits per second of line-side capacity
throughout the network. Infinera's Bandwidth Virtualization
architecture enables the flexible deployment of PIC-based network
capacity to carry any available service between any points on the
network without any of the optical impairments or constraints
typical of all-optical ROADMs.
"We decided to light our own optical network. After a
comprehensive evaluation of the alternatives, we selected Infinera
because we are convinced that Infinera DTN technology is the right
solution for the specific needs of a large national telecom
operator like Infracom," said Giovanni Zola, Managing Director at
Infracom. "At Infracom we are firmly committed to delivering top
quality high-speed transport services over fiber and our customers
particularly appreciate the rapidity of our delivery, our great
flexibility in building custom-tailored solutions and, above all,
the reliability of our services and the proactive approach we
guarantee in managing potentially critical situations. Infinera DTN
technology meets all our expectations and we are sure it will
strengthen our competitiveness and help us further improve the
quality of our transport services."
"We are very pleased to support Infracom as the company upgrades
its network to deliver a wide choice of services and excellent
customer service to their customers," said Infinera CEO Tom
Fallon.
The Infinera DTN is the first optical networking system powered
by large-scale photonic integrated circuits. Deployed worldwide in
long-haul and metro core networks, the Infinera DTN combines
high-capacity DWDM transport, integrated digital bandwidth
management, and GMPLS-powered service intelligence in a single
platform.
