Infinera Introduces New Suite of XR Optics-powered Coherent Pluggable Solutions
May 19 2021 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today that it has expanded its
portfolio of open optical networking solutions with a suite of
coherent optical pluggables designed to seamlessly address
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transport applications from
the network edge to the core. Leveraging innovative XR optics
technology, Infinera’s new suite of vertically integrated ICE-XR
pluggables will offer network operators the performance, scale, and
efficiency critical to the delivery of differentiated 5G, enhanced
broadband, and next-generation cloud and business services. ICE-XR
pluggables will support a range of transport rates, including 100G,
400G, and 800G, and utilize industry-standard form factors such as
QSFP-28, QSFP-DD, and CFP2 to enable ease of deployment in a wide
variety of router and transport devices.
“We have been engaged with 100+ network operators
globally and the feedback that we have received has surpassed
anything I have seen in my 35+ years of experience in successfully
bringing game-changing technologies to market,” said Dave Welch,
Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Infinera. “Leveraging the
innovative capabilities of XR optics, ICE-XR will enable Infinera
to create a completely new market with functionality that is
uniquely positioned to address the point-to-multipoint traffic
demands at the rapidly growing network edge and provide TCO savings
of as much as 70%. Additionally, with Infinera’s deep vertical
integration, ICE-XR will enable us to address the rapidly growing
market for point-to-point pluggable coherent applications with a
differentiated and cost-reduced solution.”
ICE-XR builds on Infinera’s history of delivering
innovative, highly differentiated, and vertically integrated
coherent optical engines. ICE-XR can be seamlessly software
configured between point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
operations. When used in point-to-point applications, ICE-XR can
enable network operators to benefit from seamless generational
upgrades, enhanced performance in capacity and reach, and the
ability to utilize pay-as-you-grow service activation. In
multipoint applications, ICE-XR can enable network operators to
reduce the total number of transceivers in their networks by 50% or
more and simplify their network architectures by eliminating
electrical aggregation points and driving down capital expense and
operational complexity.
XR optics is an open technology initiative with the
support of network operators, equipment manufacturers, and
subsystem manufacturers.
Initial ICE-XR pluggables are scheduled for release
in 2022.
