Infinera and Lumentum validate interoperable network solution

News

PIC-based DWDM platforms and white box line system combo allows bandwidth provisioning using open standardised interfaces


Infinera and Lumentum have announced successful validation of Infinera's portfolio of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) platforms over Lumentum's white box optical line system.

The combination of Infinera's photonic integrated circuit (PIC) based platforms and Lumentum's white box line system is said to offer network operators a scalable, programmable, and automated solution for provisioning bandwidth using open standardised interfaces.

The joint solution is designed to support an ecosystem enabling open networks for datacentre interconnect (DCI) and metro/edge WDM transport. This announcement marks the first multi-vendor driven demonstration of, and commitment to supporting, an open, interoperable and agile approach to the construction of transport networks.

Infinera and Lumentum are collaborating on open packet optical transport in the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), an industry initiative co-founded by Facebook. TIP consists of multiple operators, infrastructure providers, system integrators, and others collaborating to develop new technologies and approaches to deploy the telecom network infrastructure.

"By validating the industry's first white box open line system interoperability with Lumentum, Infinera has demonstrated our commitment to delivering the innovative and open optical solutions that our customers need," said Tom Fallon, Infinera CEO. "Infinera's leadership in technology innovation with large-scale photonic integration is changing telecom networks. This announcement is yet another step in the path to delivering on our vision of enabling an infinite pool of intelligent bandwidth that the next communications infrastructure is built upon."

"Lumentum's award-winning optical white boxes are designed for simplicity and scalability, with open interfaces to enable Software Defined Networking (SDN)," said Alan Lowe, Lumentum CEO. "The demonstration of successful interoperability with Infinera validates the open system approach that should deliver the simplicity and service innovation many network operators desire."
