As a result, Infinera retains the number one market share position in long-haul 100G since the DTN-X entered the market in third quarter of 2012. The Dell’Oro Group tracks the telecommunications market and is known as a trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries.
The May 20, 2013, edition of the Dell’Oro Group Optical Transport Report shows that in the first quarter of 2013 Infinera remains number one in the worldwide long-haul 100G WDM market. The Dell’Oro Group reports the market leaders in the long-haul 100G WDM market by the number of long-haul 100G ports recognized for revenue in the quarter. The report shows Infinera accounts for 34% of the long-haul 100G WDM ports sold in the first quarter of 2013, and also shows that Infinera accounts for 29% of all long-haul 100G ports sold since the long-haul 100G market emerged in 2010. The Dell’Oro Group forecast projects 100G revenue to grow at a 47% CAGR between 2012 and 2017, reaching $5.6 B and contributing 60% of WDM capacity shipments by 2017.
Infinera reports strong traction for the DTN-X around the world with purchase commitments from 27 customers through the first quarter 2013 in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, including BICS, CenturyLink, Cable&Wireless Worldwide, KDDI, Telefonica International Wholesale Services, TeliaSonera International Carrier and DANTE for the GÉANT pan-European Research Network.
The Infinera DTN-X platform is designed for global network operators facing increasing bandwidth demands driven by video, high speed data and cloud-based services. For these operators the DTN-X provides a simple, scalable, and efficient solution that integrates optical transport network (OTN) switching capacity with market-leading multi-Terabit transport capacity. The DTN-X enables network operators to efficiently deploy the world’s first and only commercially available 500G long-haul super-channels. Long-haul super-channels enable operators to scale transport capacity without scaling operational complexity thereby lowering total cost of ownership for multi-Terabit transport networks.
