Infinera to Showcase Latest Products and Technologies at SC09
100Gb/s Demonstrated in Live Traffic Running Over Internet2 Network
| Source: Infinera
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - November 16, 2009) - Infinera (NASDAQ : INFN ) will be showing new
technologies and products that continue to lead the optical networking
industry at the SC09 conference in Portland. As the first and only company
producing optical systems based on large-scale photonic integration,
Infinera offers the scalability and flexibility to meet exponentially
growing bandwidth demand from the Internet's power users like the research
and education community.
At the Infinera booth at SC09, conference attendees will be able to see a
pre-production 100 Gigabit Ethernet Module, designed to deliver 100GbE
services in today's Infinera DTN and over today's network infrastructure.
Also at SC09, Infinera will show its new metro edge platform, the Infinera
ATN, which extends the benefits of Infinera's Digital Optical Networks
architecture across the network, from the core to the metro edge.
Infinera continues to lead the industry in the race to 100 Gigabit
Ethernet. At this year's SC09, Infinera is participating in a joint
demonstration with Internet2, Level 3 Communications, and Juniper Networks
involving interoperation between the Infinera DTN and a Juniper T1600
Series Core Router. Infinera's Bandwidth Virtualization™ architecture is
designed to provide the flexibility and scalability to enable a wide range
of services, including potential future 100GbE services, to be delivered
over today's infrastructure. Infinera is working closely with others in the
industry to ensure a complete solution for 100GbE, working on issues
including industry standards as well as testing and network deployment.
Infinera's current generation of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) put
100 Gb/s of capacity on every Infinera DTN line card. Infinera's
next-generation PICs, designed with capacity of 400 Gb/s on a pair of chips
integrating more than 400 optical elements, will enable a significant
increase in the capacity and scalability of optical networks.
"The Infinera vision enables seamless scalability of the optical layer,
with the application of photonic integration technology to enable an
ever-increasing pool of intelligent bandwidth," said Infinera chief
technology officer Drew Perkins."Our aim is to push the frontiers of the
technology forward, while at the same time broadening our product portfolio
so our technology can be applied in more parts of the network."
SC09 takes place at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland. Visitors to
the show are invited to stop by the booth #1444 to see detailed information
on Infinera products, technology, and the company's vision of the future of
the network.
The Infinera family of optical solutions includes the Infinera DTN, the
first optical system based on large-scale photonic integrated circuits, and
the Infinera ATN, a compact metro edge platform that extends the benefits
of Infinera's Digital Optical Networks to the metro edge.
