XL Axiata Modernises 5G Network with Infinera

News

Expands XL South Sumatra terrestrial network and Singapore-to-Jakarta subsea network using Infinera’s Infinite Capacity Engine

Infinera and XL Axiata have announced the expansion of XL Axiata’s South Sumatra terrestrial network and its Singapore-to-Jakarta subsea network via B2JS (Jakarta-Bangka-Batam-Singapore) with the Infinera XTC platform, leveraging Infinera’s Infinite Capacity Engine (ICE4).

XL Axiata is one of Indonesia’s leading telecommunication service providers, offering a products and services ranging from voice, SMS and value-added services to mobile data, covering more than 94 percent of the population throughout Indonesia. The XL Axiata transport infrastructure spans over 45,000 kilometers of fibre optics. The Infinera solution, delivered in collaboration with local partner Lintas Teknologi, ensures XL Axiata is ready to offer capacity with speed and efficiency, as demanded by its customers, and as its network evolves to 5G.

“As one of Southeast Asia’s largest economies, modernising the network in Indonesia to ensure 5G-readiness is a priority,” said Yessie Dianty Yosetya, CTO at XL Axiata. “Our partnership with Infinera and Lintas has been critical to help us achieve this milestone. Further, the performance of Infinera’s ICE4 solution for this subsea and terrestrial network upgrade enables the delivery of cloud-scale capacity that is simple and operationally efficient, with the benefit of intelligent Optical Transport Network (OTN) switching that accelerates our ability to deliver services faster.”

“Cloud scale and 5G both represent bandwidth-thirsty markets that require leading-edge optical engines and scalable platforms that are easy to operate,” said Bob Jandro, SVP, Worldwide Sales at Infinera. “Our partnership with XL Axiata and Lintas Teknologi to build a state-of-the-art optical network in Southeast Asia reinforces our commitment to bringing leading technology that delivers on capacity, reliability and innovation all over the world.”

Infinera’s XTC Series combines the benefits of photonic integrated circuit technology, integrated packet-aware OTN switching and the flexibility to address subsea, long-haul, regional and metro networks. Infinera’s ICE4 offers network operators the combined benefits of scalable multi-terabit optical super-channel capacity and industry-leading capacity-reach performance for distances from metro to subsea. These benefits enable the resiliency required as operators make their networks 5G-ready.
