Seaborn Selects Infinera’s ICE6 Technology and Expands Spectrum Delivery in the Americas
July 06 2021 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) and Seaborn Networks (Seaborn), a leading
developer-owner-operator of submarine fiber optic cable systems,
announced today the selection of Infinera’s industry-leading ICE6
800G coherent technology for Seaborn’s subsea network. Once
deployed on Seaborn’s network, Infinera’s ICE6-powered solution
will provide Seaborn with an architecture that can deliver 400 GbE
services, including the option for direct PoP-to-PoP transport.
Leveraging Infinera’s existing solutions, Seaborn has expanded its
shared spectrum services in the Americas. Delivering flexible
spectrum sharing services for both the core network and
customer-specific applications is fundamental in enabling Seaborn
to continue to lead the way in sustainable, high-quality,
high-capacity IP and content services for the Americas.
“Seaborn is delighted to be side by side with Infinera as our
technology partner as we move the needle once again in service
delivery capabilities for the Americas,” commented Paul Cannon,
Vice President of Network Development at Seaborn. “With Infinera’s
solutions, Seaborn can offer a fully integrated spectrum solution
across our subsea networks, which is fundamental to delivering
sustainable capacity solutions to our customers while also enabling
our larger customers to benefit from end-to-end spectrum
capabilities with the freedom to select hardware and platforms in
their existing high-capacity PoP locations. Once Infinera’s ICE6
technology is deployed on our network this summer, Seaborn will be
positioned to deliver industry-leading 400 GbE PoP-to-PoP services
at distances over 10,000 km.”
Seaborn operates two high-capacity open cable systems, Seabras-1
and AMX-1, with connections between Brazil and the U.S. offering a
range of managed digital services and wavelength services. With
Infinera’s submarine network solution, Seaborn offers its customers
new, highly granular, all-optical spectrum sharing services. This
is enabled by the Smart Spectrum feature within Infinera’s
Intelligent Power Management (IPM) solution. Smart Spectrum allows
Seaborn to offer multiple virtual fiber pairs to its customers so
they can take advantage of open cable demarcation, while being
protected from potential optical power instability caused by other
tenants on the same fiber pair. Infinera’s 800G solution will
enable Seaborn to enhance its network to deliver maximum capacity
at the longest reach and offer enhanced service flexibility, while
reducing operating costs and delivering savings it can pass on to
its customers.
“Seaborn’s ongoing commitment to Infinera’s solutions
underscores the value our technology delivers to network operators
globally,” said Nick Walden, Senior Vice President, Worldwide
Sales, Infinera. “With Infinera’s ICE6 800G solution, Seaborn will
continue to capitalize on the benefits of Infinera’s technology,
providing its customers with access to cost-effective,
high-performance, and high-capacity services.”
