Next generation InP-based 1.6 Tb/s optical engine still on track for delivery this year
Infinera, optoelectronics and networking equipment firm, has released financial results for its first quarter ended March 28, 2020. GAAP revenue for the quarter was $330.3 million compared to $384.6 million in Q4 2019 and $292.7 million in Q3 2019.
GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 23.3 percent compared to 29.0 percent in Q4 2019 and 22.7 percent in Q3 2019. GAAP operating margin for the quarter was (23.3) percent compared to (15.8) percent in Q4 2019 and (38.2) percent in Q3 2019.

“While facing impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to service our customers and deliver year-over-year growth in revenue and orders during the quarter,” said Tom Fallon, Infinera CEO. “While the macro-economic environment creates visibility challenges for the second half of the year, we are on track for ICE6 delivery this year and remain very optimistic about the opportunity we see for Infinera in the medium and long term, driven by our truly differentiated performance in the fast-growing high-capacity optical market.”
ICE6 is a 1.6 Tb/s optical engine that contains a highly integrated InP photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and high-performance electronics to delivers two wavelengths at up to 800G each in a compact digital coherent module that can be integrated into multiple Infinera platforms.

The health and well-being of AngelTech speakers, partners, employees and the overall community is our top priority. Due to the growing concern around the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in alignment with the best practices laid out by the CDC, WHO and other relevant entities, AngelTech decided to postpone the live Brussels event to 16th - 18th November 2020.
In the interim, we believe it is still important to connect the community and we want to do this via an online summit, taking place live on Tuesday May 19th at 12:00 GMT and content available for 12 months on demand. This will not replace the live event (we believe live face to face interaction, learning and networking can never be fully replaced by a virtual summit), it will supplement the event, add value for key players and bring the community together – digitally.
The event will involve 4 breakout sessions for CS International, PIC International, Sensors International and PIC Pilot Lines.
Key elements of the online summit:
- Covering key topics of the industries
- Live 3 hour online summit
- 10 minute presentations – learn from experts in the industry
- Recorded product demos
- Live audience questions
- Enhanced discussion and audience interaction
- Video panel sessions
- Sponsors digital booth (intro video, company content, lead generator, facilitate one on one video meetings with attendees)
- Live private video meetings between two or more attendees
- After the live event, monthly keynotes to drive traffic to the event 24/7, 365
Innovation is in AngelTech’s DNA and we are leveraging this strength to bring you an immersive and inspiring online event without the risk of travel during this uncertain period.
