Infinera Sets Two Industry-First Milestones for Optical Transport TechnologiesSUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infinera, the leading provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, achieved two industry-first milestones for advanced coherent technologies that increase the capacity and reach of optical transport networks to the next level. The first milestone drives optical transmission technologies to 100 gigabaud (GBaud), and the second milestone enhances modulation technology to 1024QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation). These new technologies are designed to deliver the highest possible capacity on a single wavelength for varied distances, helping operators extract the best performance from their optical transport networks. “Infinera uniquely uses vertical optical integration to extract maximum performance from the optical transport network,” said Andrew Schmitt, Lead Analyst at Cignal AI. “The new levels of performance in baud rate and modulation schemes for terabit wavelengths exhibited at ECOC are a good example of how this approach can eventually result in production solutions with greater capacity and reach.” Optical transport networks are a critical component of the global communications infrastructure, enabling cloud-based services to reach users around the world, and rely on three axes for increasing transmission performance:
“Infinera is delivering optical engines at a faster cadence to help operators achieve exceptional capacity and reach performance on their transport network infrastructures,” said Dr. Dave Welch, Infinera Co-Founder and President. “As 5G wireless and cable video services take off, Infinera offers significant value to transport network operators by designing industry-first solutions.” Additional Resources
