Telefónica Deutschland Modernizes Transport Network for 5G with Infinera DRX Series
September 30 2019 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today that Telefónica
Deutschland, a Tier 1 operator in Germany, selected the Infinera
DRX Series to modernize its nationwide mobile transport network.
The Infinera DRX Series, a disaggregated router family that
combines a carrier-class white box portfolio with the field-proven
and scalable Infinera CNOS software, enables Telefónica Deutschland
to prepare its nationwide mobile transport network for 5G mobile
services with scale, efficiency, and automation.
Telefónica Deutschland offers mobile and fixed services for
private and business customers, as well as innovative digital
products and services including the Internet of Things and data
analytics. In the mobile segment alone, Telefónica Deutschland is
responsible for more than 45 million connections – no other network
operator connects more people in Germany. With Infinera’s solution,
Telefónica Deutschland continues to scale and improve its transport
network to provide its customers with enhanced experience and lay
the foundation for emerging 5G services.
The Infinera DRX Series is designed to enable mobile operators
to seamlessly evolve their networks to support 4G and 5G services.
Telefónica Deutschland plans to deploy multiple DRX Series
platforms, including configurations that support 300 gigabits per
second (300G) and 900G. The DRX Series in combination with the CNOS
operating system enables a unique stacking capability that provides
simple node expansion and increased resiliency. Multiple DRX Series
elements can be connected to double or even triple node capacity
while operating as a single routing entity.
“Telefónica Deutschland is on the forefront of innovation and
expansion to ensure we provide our customers with the best
experience and meet them where they live, work, and move,” said
Cayetano Carbajo Martín, Chief Technology Officer at Telefónica
Deutschland. “As we continue to improve network experiences for our
customers now and into the future, we rely on solutions that are
scalable and automated, and the Infinera DRX Series will be a great
addition to our future 5G network environment.”
“We are pleased to be Telefónica Deutschland’s innovative and
strategic supplier for a network modernization of this magnitude,”
said Bob Jandro, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales at
Infinera. “Infinera’s DRX Series enables customers like Telefónica
Deutschland to benefit from a smooth transition to open networking
while providing the scalability, flexibility and reliability
required to meet the growing demand for 5G mobile bandwidth. As
global mobile operators are transitioning from traditional routing
and switching to a more open architecture, the DRX innovation is a
natural transition.”
