As network operators migrate to new high-speed network architectures in the access and aggregation network, Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) in cable networks and 5G in mobile networks will demand simple and efficient ways to bring the speed of optical networks to thousands of remote sites. In addition to massive bandwidth and service offerings, this new architecture will also bring considerable challenges in the underlying transport network, which will demand simplicity and automation to enable scale while lowering costs. To enable access and aggregation to scale with simplicity while maintaining adaptability to future, even higherspeed, architectures, Infinera has introduced The Infinite Network, designed to bring bandwidth everywhere, always, instantly.
