Infinera Unveils the Next Phase in the Evolution of Compact Modular Optical Transport Solutions
April 01 2020 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) unveiled today the expansion of the
industry-leading Groove (GX) Series of open, compact, and modular
transport solutions. The GX Series expansion leverages the power of
sled-based architectures to bring the operational efficiency and
accelerated innovation cycles of compact modular solutions to a
broader customer base. This evolution includes support for
Infinera’s industry-leading sixth-generation Infinite Capacity
Engine (ICE6) technology, carrier-grade features, high-density
chassis, and a wide variety of advanced sled capabilities. The
result is a solution that is designed to enable network operators
to leverage the open, efficient, and flexible aspects of compact
modular solutions for a significantly broader set of network
applications, enabling them to cost-effectively meet the insatiable
bandwidth demands driven by 5G and cloud-based networking.
The expanded GX Series of compact modular solutions adds
improved scalability and carrier-grade features to modern data
center-style networking approaches with chassis options that
streamline and accelerate large-scale deployments in a wide variety
of data center and traditional service provider networks. These
features include NEBS Level 3 compliance, field-replaceable
redundant controllers, both A/C and D/C power supplies, enhanced
security, 300-millimeter (mm) and 600-mm ETSI-compliant shelf
variants, and multi-chassis single-element configurations.
Additionally, the expansion adds a variety of new sled-based
options:
- The ICE6-powered CHM6 sled –
an industry-leading 2 x 800G transponder sled
- Flexible aggregation sleds – a suite of
metro-optimized sleds for multi-service aggregation
- Advanced open line system sleds – including
low- and high-degree ROADMs with
colorless/directionless/contentionless add/drop architectures and
low-cost FOADMs, enabling support for most networks
“With sales growth over 25% for the year, Compact Modular was
the fastest growing segment of the optical hardware market in
2019,” said Scott Wilkinson, Lead Analyst at Cignal AI. “The new
capabilities of Infinera’s GX Series facilitate the expansion of
the Compact Modular market beyond ICPs to include traditional
Service Providers as well.”
“These advances represent the continuation of Infinera’s vision
to bring open, modular, cost-effective solutions to our customers,”
said Glenn Laxdal, Infinera Senior Vice President, Product
Management. “Infinera pioneered the compact modular transport
platform with the Cloud Xpress for internet content providers,
significantly advanced its compact modular portfolio with the
industry’s first sled-based architecture with the GX G30, and is
now leading the market once again with this evolution of the GX
Series.”
The GX Series brings the power of compact modular innovation to
all types of network operators, including internet content
providers, communications service providers, cable/MSOs, subsea
operators, and many others in a wide variety of applications.
