SUNNYVALE, CA, Jun 13, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) —
At this week’s Cable Show in Chicago, Infinera’s (NASDAQ:INFN, news, filings) Director of Marketing Gaylord Hart will speak on the architectural advantages of Infinera’s large-scale photonic integration that have made it the choice of the majority of the top-performing Internet service providers (ISPs) in the U.S., according to new data on ISP performance from Netflix.
Mr. Hart will speak on a business panel titled Architectural Considerations for Commercial Services Delivery. During this panel session, Mr. Hart will explain how Infinera’s unique Digital Optical Networks architecture based on photonic integrated circuits enables service providers to scale capacity to meet rising demand quickly and efficiently. He will also discuss the evolution of optical transport technologies to 100G transport waves and beyond. To retain spectral efficiency and optimize performance, 100G and higher optical transport requires complex optical modulation such as PM-QPSK, which Infinera believes is most efficiently implemented using photonic integration, providing significant benefits in cost, reliability, density, heat generation, and reduced fiber connections.
According to data from analyst firm Ovum, the four highest-growth service providers in the U.S. from 2009 to 2010 were all cable operators. Cable companies are experiencing revenue growth by leveraging advanced services like video on demand and DOCSIS 3.0 broadband data. In a separate study of on-line streaming rates by Internet service providers, leading online entertainment giant Netflix found that all of the top seven performing U.S. ISPs in the January to May 2011 period were MSOs. Of the seven top performing U.S. cable operators cited, six have deployed an Infinera network.
“This data tells us the best performing cable operators rely on Infinera,” said Mr. Hart. “Cable operators value Infinera’s ability to deliver enhanced scalability and flexibility to meet their increasing demands to offer customers a variety of services including video and commercial services.”
Infinera pioneered Digital Optical Networks with the Infinera DTN, a Digital ROADM based on large-scale photonic integration. With the new ATN platform, Infinera now offers an end-to-end solution providing scalable optical transport from the metro edge through regional networks and across the national backbone.
