HOTnet Deploys Infinera’s Open Optical Networking Solutions to Power Long-haul Transport Network
May 24 2021 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) and Hokkaido Telecommunications Network
Co., Ltd. (HOTnet) announced today the deployment of Infinera’s
open optical networking solutions to enhance the performance of
HOTnet’s high-speed fiber optic network. Leveraging open optical
networking principles, HOTnet was able to deploy a broad range of
Infinera’s state-of-the-art solution suite over its existing
optical infrastructure. This approach enables HOTnet to rapidly and
cost effectively modernize its network to meet rapidly growing
bandwidth demand and offer differentiated services.
HOTnet’s optical long-haul and metro networks interconnect major
cities across Hokkaido, a major island in Japan, and supports a
wide range of business and residential communications services,
including data center interconnect, private cloud, video streaming,
broadband internet access, and high-definition digital broadcast
services.
With Infinera’s GX Series Compact Modular Platform, 7100 Series
Packet-Optical Transport Platform, and mTera Series Universal
Transport Platform solutions, HOTnet will be able to provide
customers with critical bandwidth needed to meet growing data
demands. Additionally, the highly compact, scalable, converged
switching and transport system design of the 7100 and mTera
solutions enables HOTnet to increase network reliability with
restoration features by leveraging any other available routes in
the event of multiple failures and cost-effectively aggregate and
groom diverse end-user traffic types from metro sites across its
long-haul optical backbone, resulting in significant cost
savings.
“Increasing the capacity and scalability of our fiber optic
infrastructure is essential to contributing to the economic
development of the Hokkaido region, providing residents with access
to high-quality network connectivity,” said Tomohiro Nakata,
Director and General Manager of Engineering Department at HOTnet.
“The deployment of Infinera’s open optical solutions over our
existing network with other vendors allowed us to capitalize on the
benefits of an open optical network infrastructure, enabling us to
cost-effectively scale capacity as needed in real time to meet
customer demands. In addition, cross connect switching on the ODU
layer within mTera enables us to provide several applications that
require low latency.”
“Open optical networking is a great way for network operators to
seamlessly integrate the latest solutions into their network,” said
Nick Walden, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Infinera.
“Infinera’s open optical solutions will enable HOTnet to offer new
and differentiated services over their existing optical
infrastructure, helping to ensure their customers receive the
highest level of service.”
