Research & Education

Overcome Budget Constraints Without Sacrificing High-capacity Connectivity

The growth of media-rich streaming, online education, cloud storage, and collaboration applications is driving demand for more flexible broadband access and seamless network scalability.

Infinera works closely with research and education communities to cost-efficiently support the high-capacity connectivity required for the collaboration needs of students, instructors, and researchers.

We ensure that your network is optimized to handle unpredictable traffic demands, using ultra-dense, small-form-factor solutions that offer unprecedented automation from edge routing to core optical to drive down total cost of ownership.

Features

Ensure mission-critical performance

Support high-bandwidth applications with automated service restoration, proven Tier 1 reliability, and scalability to 100G and beyond.

Improve service efficiency and flexibility

Take advantage of IP/packet-optimized transport capabilities, including Carrier Ethernet 2.0 and IP/MPLS mobile backhaul.

Reduce complexity and lower TCO

Simplify operations by eliminating overlay networks and achieve lowest TCO in networked enterprise and data center applications.

Maximize agility and efficiency

SDN programmability, automation, and control enable end-to-end service agility and operational efficiency.

Case Study
