Infinera ships first 500 Gb/s super-channel DTN-X

The indium phosphide PIC developer is building on its 100Gb/s platform with the new third generation system

Infinera has made its first shipments of the 500 Gb/s DTN-X platform to customers for deployment.

The firm is continuing to undertake multiple trials and has received purchase orders from new and existing customers.

To date, Infinera has announced plans to deploy the DTN-X platform with two new customers, Cable&Wireless Worldwide for its Europe Persia Express Gateway (EPEG) and DANTE for its GÉANT European Research and Education Network.

The Infinera DTN-X platform delivers what it believes is the world's first 500 gigabit per second (Gb/s) long-haul FlexCoherent super-channels, enabling service providers to deploy massive optical transport while lowering operational costs.

The DTN-X platform features 5 Terabits per second (Tb/s) of optical transport network (OTN) switching capacity. Integrated switching enables service providers to build highly efficient networks with switching activated wherever it is needed to improve wavelength fill and decrease the number of wavelengths that must be deployed.

This results in networks with a high network Efficiency Quotient and potentially lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO). The DTN-X also features an industry leading GMPLS control plane that makes the platform easy to use and further simplifies operations.

Infinera first began shipping the DTN platform in 2004, revolutionising the marketplace by offering the only optical networking solution based on 100 Gb/s photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The DTN-X platform builds on this foundation of innovation and features the third generation 500 Gb/s PICs today, delivering to service providers a solution that focuses on simplicity, scalability, efficiency and reliability.

"While our competitors talk about their roadmaps for metro 400 Gb/s super-channels, Infinera is delivering the industry's first 500 Gb/s long haul FlexCoherent super-channels," notes Dave Welch, co-founder, EVP and Chief Strategy Officer at Infinera.

"With DTN-X, we are also bringing the largest capacity OTN switch to market and delivering the industry's first deployable FlexCoherent capability. Infinera delivers on the capabilities that help service providers scale, simplify and make their networks more efficient to lower overall lifecycle TCO."
