Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today that LightBound LLC
(LightBound), an Indianapolis based provider of Internet, data
center, voice over IP, and other technology-based services, has
selected an ATN network for its latest network build in the State
of Indiana. LightBound chose an Infinera ATN network for the
flexibility, ease of use, and scalability of the solution.
LightBound is a rapidly growing regional provider focused on
serving the needs of educational institutions, government entities,
sports franchises and healthcare institutions, throughout the
region. LightBound's latest network upgrade extends its footprint
by providing connectivity to five Indiana cities including
Indianapolis and Bloomington, stretching over more than 200 miles
of fiber.
By deploying an Infinera ATN network for the optical transport
infrastructure, LightBound is able to offer more capacity more
cost-effectively than ever before. LightBound also benefits from a
wide range of services supported by the Infinera ATN including
Ethernet, SAN, SONET/SDH, OTN, video services, multiservice
aggregation to 10Gb/s wavelengths and fully automated optical power
management.
"Infinera is an ideal fit for our business because the ATN
allows us to expand our network efficiently by choosing features in
this solution that are relevant to our needs -- from 40ch DWDM
scalability to flexible multiservice 10Gb/s muxponders and a
network management system that's easy to use," said Matt Addison,
LightBound Senior Networking Engineer.
LightBound will deploy ATN Release 3.0 into their network.
Recently available, this release from Infinera adds Ethernet Add
Drop Multiplexing (ADM) on blade functionality and extended
regional reach which are features particularly relevant to regional
providers. The new features, added to existing scalable WDM
transport with multi-service aggregation, make the ATN the ideal
optical platform for a range of regional and metro Ethernet and
multiservice networks.
"We are pleased to support LightBound in building their own
network and expanding broadband options for consumers and
enterprise services for businesses and government customers," said
Infinera CEO Tom Fallon. "With the latest upgrades to our ATN
platform, we are confident that LightBound will continue to stay at
the cutting edge of the industry and benefit from the speed and
simplicity of our solutions."
