Infinera Opens Hong Kong Office for Asia Pacific Customers

Marketwired
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today the opening of a new
full-service facility in Hong Kong, demonstrating its commitment to
provide enhanced levels of service and support to customers in Asia
Pacific. The new facility provides a localized environment for
product demonstrations, training, and support for the growing
number of APAC customers who deploy Infinera's innovative Digital
Optical Network technology to offer services more rapidly and more
profitably.
Staffed with sales, engineering, technical and operational
support teams, the new presence in Hong Kong will also enable
Infinera to gain ongoing, in-depth understanding of market
requirements and respond faster to customers' needs.
Infinera changed optical networking in 2004 with the
introduction of the DTN, which remains the industry's first and
only solution that integrates Dense Wave Division Multiplexing
(DWDM) directly with OTN switching through the use of Photonic
Integrated Circuits (PICs). This pioneering integration of DWDM and
OTN via PICs enables the Digital Optical Network to work faster,
simpler and more profitably by removing many of the challenges
found in traditional analog optical networks.
According to recent research from Ovum*, the global optical
networking equipment market is driven by the continuing need for
bandwidth and expected to reach $20 billion by 2015 with a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5 percent; Asia-Pacific was identified
as the number one growth region for optical networking sales. As an
innovation leader reputed for quality and highly scalable
solutions, Infinera is well-positioned to meet the growing need for
efficient and reliable networks.
"Infinera is focused on growing our footprint in the expanding
Asian market," said Tom Fallon, Infinera CEO. "Building on our
success in North America, we have achieved significant growth in
EMEA and are now determined to extend this success to APAC.
Infinera has made optical networking faster, simpler and more
efficient, and we are excited to demonstrate this innovation to our
existing and future customers in APAC."
"This new facility marks the beginning of a long-term investment
by Infinera in APAC," said Andrew Bond-Webster, Vice President
APAC, Infinera. "We will continue to listen to our customers, make
ourselves more accessible to them, and expand our local team of
expertise to create winning opportunities for everyone in the long
term."
