Infinera Adds Advanced Data Encryption to mTera® Universal Switching Platform
December 10 2018 - 8:00AM
Infinera, provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, announced the
availability of new Layer 1 Optical Transport Network (OTN) data
encryption capabilities on Infinera’s mTera® Universal Switching
Platform. As the global threat of cybercrime continues to rise,
mTera provides network operators a new approach to further secure
their communications networks and protect customer data.
The mTera platform offers network operators the flexibility to
define any interface with OTN, Multiprotocol Label
Switching-Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) or Carrier Ethernet
switching, decreasing network complexity while accelerating new
service deployment across metro, regional and long-haul
networks.
The Infinera mTera Universal Switching Platform is designed
to:
- Scale up to 7 terabits per second (Tb/s) in a
single shelf or 12 Tb/s in a paired shelf configuration
- Easily migrate Synchronous
Optical Networking (SONET)/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) to
packet-optical technologies
- Minimize regens with reach of
over 5,000 kilometers (km) in terrestrial networks and over 12,000
km in submarine networks
Most solutions on the market bulk encrypt all the data going
through a transponder, providing no ability to differentiate
services across the interface. Conversely, the mTera platform
provides Layer 1 OTN data encryption in a multi-terabit,
multi-layer switching platform, enabling network operators to
differentiate services by selectively encrypting individual or
multiple services. The optional Layer 1 OTN data encryption
technology on the mTera platform is enabled via software and can be
applied at wire speed to 100 gigabits per second, 10 Gb/s and
sub-rate leased line services with Ethernet, OTN or SONET/SDH, as
well as other client interfaces.
“Securing customer traffic has never been more important to
communications service providers and internet content providers as
their networks face increased attacks,” said Uwe Fischer, Senior
Vice President, System Solutions Business Group at Infinera.
“Best-in-class technology like Layer 1 OTN data encryption on the
mTera platform helps network operators create differentiation and
expand their breadth of services, all while protecting customer
data and privacy.”
The new mTera platform Layer 1 OTN data encryption technology
feature is currently available with the latest mTera product
software release.
