Infinera and Orange International Network Establish Long-term Partnership to Optimize Network Infrastructure Across Europe
March 18 2024 - 8:00AM
Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN) announced today a new partnership with
Orange, one of the world’s leading telecommunications operators.
This partnership sets the foundation for a collaboration on
Orange’s international backbone network. Orange selected Infinera’s
GX Series compact modular networking platform based on its ability
to provide high-capacity connectivity with excellent economics.
This solution will enable Orange to continue to deliver superior
services across its footprint for its wholesale customers as
bandwidth requirements continue to grow.
The network deployment project will leverage Infinera’s latest
generation of coherent engines and optical line system. Orange and
Infinera recently completed a network in the U.S., and will now
connect Paris, Marseille, and Bordeaux in France. Spanning 3,000
kilometers (km), this network includes multiple hub cities for
international connectivity via submarine landing stations on
France’s Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts and connection points
for European data centers and additional Orange affiliates.
“We are excited about this new partnership with Infinera,” said
Aurélien Vigano, VP of International Transmission Networks at
Orange. “By partnering with Infinera, we are glad to add another
key supplier to our network in order to reinforce our core backbone
infrastructure across France to double our route between three
strategic connectivity hubs, adding resilience and capacity to our
network. With Infinera’s flexible GX platform, we will be able to
seamlessly reinforce our network as new technologies become
available, enabling us to keep pace with rapidly growing customer
demands, while providing the best customer experience.”
“Infinera looks forward to our long-term partnership with Orange
to deliver our GX Series solution on Orange’s new and existing
optical transport routes, expanding Orange’s offerings to network
operators and wholesale carriers, with resilient and reliable
global connectivity capability,” said Nick Walden, Senior Vice
President, Worldwide Sales, Infinera.

services operators in the world with operations in 26 countries and
business services in 220 countries and territories. Its
international networks and infrastructure offer global connectivity
via 40 submarine cable systems stretching 450,000 km, an extensive
