Australia-Japan Cable Completes Major Upgrade to Submarine Cable System with Infinera Subsea Solution
January 08 2019 - 8:00AM
Infinera, provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, announced the
completion of a major upgrade to Australia-Japan Cable’s (AJC)
submarine cable system connecting Australia, Guam and Japan. AJC
tripled lit capacity on its 12,700-kilometer subsea cable system by
upgrading their Infinera DTN-X network with Infinera’s fourth
generation optical engine – ICE4 (Infinite Capacity Engine). The
network upgrade also delivers a 60 percent end-of-life capacity
increase to AJC’s trans-Pacific cable system.
AJC first deployed Infinera’s subsea solution in
2014. The recent capacity upgrade with ICE4 was achieved without
service interruption and enables AJC to rapidly activate new
capacity for customers with Infinera Instant Bandwidth. Instant
Bandwidth allows AJC to quickly activate and pay for additional
capacity when needed, reducing the initial cost of deployment and
much of the up-front commercial risk.
“Infinera’s newest optical engine –
ICE4 – enabled AJC to easily add more capacity per fiber
pair,” said David Crofts, CEO, Australia-Japan Cable. “The ICE4
upgrade to our DTN-X network from Infinera is performing better
than advertised, allowing AJC to easily deliver multi-terabit
capacity with low power consumption and the reliability required
for subsea networks.”
“We are delighted to partner with AJC as they
expand their network capacity through the deployment of Infinera’s
high-performance ICE4 optical engines,” said Andrew Bond-Webster,
Vice President, Sales, Infinera. “Infinera’s subsea solution
delivers on short lead times, offering customers like AJC the
ability to quickly activate new capacity and reliably restore
customer services should a subsea cable fault occur.”
