Infinera Products

Digital optical networks leverage disruptive technology to combine the art of optical networking with the predictability and deterministic behavior of the digital networking to make networks more efficient. This is done using Photonic Integrated Circuits's (PIC's), a component a about the size of your fingertip that condenses hundreds optical components onto a single ultra-reliable micro-chip. Infinera's implementation of the PIC to multiplex, switch and groom traffic at the digital layer to and from optical interfaces simplifies just about everything else. In fact, PIC's and the digital optical network offer the unique ability to combine the speed of optical networks with the simplicity of the digital domain to change the rules of networking forever. Benefits include being able to build networks that deliver Terabit SCALE, leverage plug-n-play architecture, digital automation and GMPLS based network intelligence to make networks SIMPLE and converge functions and increase density, reduce power consumption to make networks more EFFICIENT.

To bring the Infinera Digital Optical Network to network operators, Infinera leverages a series of PIC optimized network solutions including:

1. DTN-X: The flagship Multi-Terabit Packet Optical Transport Network platform P-OTN, designed to bring the economics and value of Photonic Integrated Circuits to the terabit age. Featuring integrated Terabit WDM transport, full function OTN switching/grooming to a simple plug and play architecture, the DTN-X gives you everything you need, without compromise. More...
2. DTN Digital ROADM: combines scalable DWDM capacity with sub-wavelength transparent 2.5G (ODU1) digital switching that allows reconfigurable add/drop of multiple services from 155Mb/s to 100Gb/s with the ability to virtualize your network so you can get even more. More...
3. ATN: purpose-built metro edge platform that extends the Infinera Digital Optical Network to the metro network. More...
4. Infinera Line System: a flexible line system that extends optical reach and capacity with up to 160 channels of any mix of optical services across the metro, long-haul and even sub-sea network. More on Infinera line systems.
5. IQ Network Operating System: provides real-time network intelligence and control of all network elements to facilitate automated end-end topology discovery, service provisioning and service management and protection based on a GMPLS control plane. More...
6. Infinera Management Suite: consists of the Digital Network Administrator (DNA) Element Management System, Graphical Node Manager (GNM) and Network Planning System (NPS). DNA enables end-end network management and control with a complete suite of FCAPS functions. The Infinera Management Suite also includes a suite of integration functions for third party umbrella management systems. More...
