MONACO, Jun 21, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN, news, filings) announced today the company’s 100 gigabit per second (Gb/s) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) was awarded Best Optical Component Product – 100G at the Next Generation Optical Networking Awards 2012 in Monaco. Infinera’s first generation PIC was recognized for the disruptive impact it has made in the optical network industry. Integrating more than 60 components onto a pair of chips, the 100 Gb/s PICs are embedded into Infinera’s highly successful DTN platform and boasts more than 725 million hours of field operation without a known failure in live networks worldwide.
Infinera is now shipping the DTN-X platform based on 500 Gb/s PICs. The DTN-X is believed to be the only platform on the market that delivers 500 Gb/s long-haul super-channels, and also the only platform to integrate 5 Terabits per second of optical transport network (OTN) switching in the same chassis.
This prestigious award was established to celebrate and recognize the achievements made by service providers and solutions providers in the optical networking industry. Infinera’s award was accepted by Michael Capuano, Infinera’s vice president of corporate marketing.
Infinera’s PICs power the DTN and DTN-X platforms, delivering to service providers globally a simple, scalable, efficient and reliable optical networking solution.
“We are delighted to see our PIC receive this award,” said Michael Capuano. “We believe that our PICs change the dynamics of the optical networking industry by dramatically increasing optical transport network efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership.”
