 "Infinera Unveils DTN-X, The Multi-Terabit P-OTN Platform")
Infinera has unveiled the DTN-X, the first multi-terabit packet-optical transport (P-OTN) network platform based on 500 Gb/s Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), and designed for global service providers facing increasing demands for bandwidth driven by video, mobile and cloud-based services.
The DTN-X is purpose-built to integrate switching with DWDM without trade-offs in capacity. The architecture of the DTN-X extends the ease of use and reliability of Infinera’s DTN in a new multi-terabit platform that scales for the future, is simple to operate and efficiently reduces the number of elements in the network. Unabated growth in Internet traffic is driving operators to upgrade their networks to 100 Gb/s and higher speed optical transmission.
“We remain committed to our customers and will continue to drive innovation that helps them win in their markets,” said Tom Fallon, President and CEO, Infinera. “The DTN-X is a multiterabit class platform that enables service providers to build scalable, simple and efficient optical transport networks, ultimately making them more profitable,” added Fallon.
Infinera is introducing third-generation 500 Gb/s PICs that integrate more than 600 optical functions and deliver 500 Gb/s superchannels, providing a foundation for the DTN-X’s superior scale, simplicity and efficiency.
The DTN-X will deliver 5 Tb/s of non-blocking OTN switching in a single bay, and in subsequent releases will be upgradeable to resilient multi-bay configurations providing 100 Tb/s of non-blocking OTN and MPLS switching. The DTN-X is designed from the ground up to combine three unique technology building blocks – PICs, custom switching ASICs and intelligent GMPLS software – enabling the DTN-X platform to be flexibly configured with up to 5 Tb/s of DWDM or service interfaces in each bay, or any combination of the two, without any loss of capacity.
