Infinera Completes Successful Trial of XR Optics with NBN Co
May 12 2021 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today that NBN Co, Australia’s
wholesale open-access broadband provider, completed a successful
proof of concept of XR optics-based point-to-multipoint coherent
optical technology. The trial demonstrated XR optics’ compatibility
within the nbn Transit Network, a DWDM network spanning over 65,000
km across Australia.
The trial highlighted the ability of XR optics to dramatically
simplify transport network architecture while reducing CapEx and
OpEx across diverse applications. Providing multiple 100 Gb/s of
capacity efficiently subdivided into discrete subcarriers, XR
optics enables dynamic capacity management and optical capacity
optimization. This demonstration was designed to inform how NBN Co
considers options to evolve its transport network to support
growing data demands in the future.
“The nbn Transit Network is our national backbone, supporting
the growing data needs of Australians as they rely more on
broadband for their work, education, social and entertainment
needs. It is important that we keep track of new innovations to
guide how we evolve our network to help meet changing needs in the
future,” said Ray Owen, Chief Technology Officer at NBN Co.
“Working with Infinera helps us to understand the options and
design our pathways accordingly.”
“This trial with NBN Co provides a proof point illustrating how
Infinera’s digital subcarrier-powered XR optics can be seamlessly
integrated into existing networks and successfully applied in a
variety of network applications from backhaul networks to data
center interconnect,” said Dave Welch, Infinera Chief Innovation
Officer and Co-founder. “The XR optics trials Infinera has
conducted continue to represent a radical shift in the way future
networks can be built, promising a dramatic reduction in TCO,
helping to set a new benchmark in scalability, and increasing
service flexibility and velocity.”
