Infinera, NEC Networks and System Integration Corporation Team to Help Regional Japanese Service Provider Modernize its Metro...
December 11 2018 - 8:00AM
Infinera, provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, announced
today that it has teamed with NEC Networks and System Integration
Corporation (NESIC) to deliver a converged packet and optical
transport solution to a leading Japanese service provider and
affiliate of Power Nets Japan (PNJ). The regional
telecommunications carrier selected Infinera’s mTera® Universal
Transport Platform to cost-efficiently scale its metro network
infrastructure and enhance service flexibility as growth in
enterprise and residential high-speed services drives increased
demand for network capacity.
The Infinera mTera will be deployed to support high-capacity
interconnect between core data center sites in one of Japan’s major
metropolitan areas. At the same time, the highly flexible solution
will create a more efficient means of delivering local and regional
end-user services, including data center interconnect, private
cloud, and high-speed internet access.
Provided through its local partnership with NESIC, the Infinera
mTera offers the utilities-based service provider a flexible
multiservice transport solution that supports software-defined
Universal Switching, including Optical Transport Network (OTN),
Carrier Ethernet, Multiprotocol Label Switching-Transport Profile
(MPLS-TP), and Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET)/Synchronous
Digital Hierarchy (SDH) in a single, power-efficient system
architecture, with the option of an integrated dense
wavelength-division multiplexing layer based on reconfigurable
optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM)-on-a-blade technology. The
ultra-compact, power-efficient solution is designed to provide an
extremely dense 7 terabits per second (Tb/s) of universal switching
capacity per shelf with up to 12 Tb/s of total switching capacity
per rack.
“As end-user bandwidth demands become more unpredictable,
service providers require flexible transport solutions that can
easily scale while delivering the operational benefits that allow
them to deploy and manage services more efficiently," said Bob
Jandro, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales at Infinera. “We are
pleased to team with NESIC to help service providers in Japan
future proof their network infrastructure with the unique universal
switching and transport capabilities of the mTera platform.”
The Infinera mTera solution will enhance an end-to-end transport
infrastructure that also includes the Infinera 7100 Packet Optical
Transport Platform and Transcend Chorus network management
platform.
