Marketwired
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today its participation at
OFC/NFOEC next week and plans for the first public demonstration of
its 2 Tb/s small form factor DTN-X platform. OFC/NFOEC takes place
at the Los Angeles Convention Center from March 4th through 8th in
Los Angeles, CA.
At the conference, Infinera will feature the Infinera Express
mobile demonstration lab, showcasing the latest Digital Optical
Networking solutions designed for the Terabit Age. Inside the
Infinera Express at OFC/NFOEC, the company will have on display a
pair of DTN-X platforms configured with 500 Gb/s FlexCoherent
super-channels. At OFC/NFOEC, Infinera is providing the first
public demonstration of the half-rack small form factor XTC-4
chassis with 2 Tb/s of integrated OTN switching and simulating
typical high-bandwidth transport links on customer networks. The
XTC-4 provides a DTN-X class solution in a smaller form factor for
operators who have space constraints or a need for lower total
chassis capacity. The DTN-X platform in a full-rack XTC-10 chassis
with 5 Tb/s of integrated OTN switching was demonstrated in
September 2011. Both the XTC-4 and XTC-10 are planned for
availability in the first half of 2012.
The Infinera Express will also showcase the DTN platform which
interoperates with the DTN-X for cost effective service delivery.
Both the DTN and DTN-X boast an 8th generation common intelligent
GMPLS control plane along with a common DNA management system for
rapid service turn up via point and click provisioning,
auto-discovery and automated service restoration.
Infinera's DTN-X platform is the industry's only super-channel
DWDM solution based on 500 Gb/s photonic integrated circuits
(PICs); it also integrates OTN switching and a GMPLS control plane
without any performance compromise. The PICs integrate more than
600 optical functions, traditionally implemented on discrete
components, onto a pair of chips significantly improving
reliability, increasing system density and reducing power
consumption. They deliver the world's first 500 Gb/s FlexCoherent
super-channels based on 100 Gb/s channels-providing service
providers a network that scales for the future, is simple to
operate enabling agile service deployment, and efficiently uses
fiber resources ultimately benefitting an operator's bottom
line.
