First Public Demonstration of Infinera’s 2 Tb/s Small Form Factor DTN-X Platform SUNNYVALE, CA, Feb 29, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN, news, filings) announced today its participation at OFC/NFOEC next week and plans for the first public demonstration of its 2 Tb/s small form factor DTN-X platform. OFC/NFOEC takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from March 4th through 8th in Los Angeles, CA.
At the conference, Infinera will feature the Infinera Express mobile demonstration lab, showcasing the latest Digital Optical Networking solutions designed for the Terabit Age. Inside the Infinera Express at OFC/NFOEC, the company will have on display a pair of DTN-X platforms configured with 500 Gb/s FlexCoherent super-channels. At OFC/NFOEC, Infinera is providing the first public demonstration of the half-rack small form factor XTC-4 chassis with 2 Tb/s of integrated OTN switching and simulating typical high-bandwidth transport links on customer networks. The XTC-4 provides a DTN-X class solution in a smaller form factor for operators who have space constraints or a need for lower total chassis capacity. The DTN-X platform in a full-rack XTC-10 chassis with 5 Tb/s of integrated OTN switching was demonstrated in September 2011. Both the XTC-4 and XTC-10 are planned for availability in the first half of 2012.
The Infinera Express will also showcase the DTN platform which interoperates with the DTN-X for cost effective service delivery. Both the DTN and DTN-X boast an 8th generation common intelligent GMPLS control plane along with a common DNA management system for rapid service turn up via point and click provisioning, auto-discovery and automated service restoration.
Infinera’s DTN-X platform is the industry’s only super-channel DWDM solution based on 500 Gb/s photonic integrated circuits (PICs); it also integrates OTN switching and a GMPLS control plane without any performance compromise. The PICs integrate more than 600 optical functions, traditionally implemented on discrete components, onto a pair of chips significantly improving reliability, increasing system density and reducing power consumption. They deliver the world’s first 500 Gb/s FlexCoherent super-channels based on 100 Gb/s channels-providing service providers a network that scales for the future, is simple to operate enabling agile service deployment, and efficiently uses fiber resources ultimately benefitting an operator’s bottom line.
