Telia Carrier expands west coast coverage with Infinera
Infinera and Telia Carrier announced the extension of Telia Carrier's North American optical network to bring 100 Gbps services into its Bay Area metro markets with the Infinera TM-Series. In addition, Infinera and Telia Carrier announced a second Infinera DTN-X based low latency "˜Pacific Coast Highway' route between the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. The route enhances connectivity between the two major West coast media, entertainment and internet hubs and clears an additional path for Asia-Pac traffic entering and leaving the US via key submarine cable landing stations in Los Angeles.
Telia Carrier was the first network operator in North America to deploy the Infinera DTN-X Family with Instant Bandwidth and the first network operator to test a terabit super-channel on a live network. Now Telia Carrier is the first announced provider to extend a nationwide DTN-X network by deploying Infinera's TM-Series for Metro 100G at scale. The Infinera TM-Series will provide the Telia Carrier metro network with a 100G packet-optical platform featuring multi-service capabilities including the ability to support MEF 2.0 certified Ethernet services, mobile fronthaul, wholesale bandwidth and metro aggregation.
