TeliaSonera International Carrier Accelerates 100G Customer Delivery With Infinera's Instant Bandwidth(TM) on DTN-X
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN and SUNNYVALE, CA, Nov 12, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
TeliaSonera International Carrier (TSIC) and Infinera (NASDAQ:
INFN) announced today TSIC's selection of the DTN-X with Infinera
Instant Bandwidth(TM) delivering 100 Gigabits per second (100G) of
optical transport capacity via software control across its North
American network. The DTN-X platform enables TSIC to offer its
customers up to 100G bandwidth-on-demand and lower its operational
costs.
TeliaSonera International Carrier, a leading global IP carrier,
operates a wholly owned fiber optic network connecting 200 Points of
Presence (PoPs) across Europe, North America and Asia. Customers
include content providers and network operators globally for IP,
DWDM, Ethernet, voice and specialized mobile services. In North
America, its 18,000 km fiber network, reaching 35 PoPs in 23 cities,
is the first to deploy the DTN-X with Instant Bandwidth(TM).
"Infinera's DTN-X with Instant Bandwidth(TM) gives us a competitive
edge enabling significantly shorter customer delivery times for 100G
services and allows us to offer one of the most advanced and scalable
networks in North America," said Erik Hallberg, President of
TeliaSonera International Carrier.
"The selection of the DTN-X with Instant Bandwidth(TM) from
TeliaSonera International Carrier demonstrates the strength of the
relationship that began with our DTN in the 10G era and is now
entering the 100G era with the DTN-X," said Chris Champion, Infinera
Vice President, EMEA sales. "As TSIC continues to grow their
business, Instant Bandwidth(TM) on DTN-X provides a flexible
infrastructure, one-click capacity and lower operational costs as
they face increasing demands for bandwidth in a more competitive
environment."
TeliaSonera International Carrier first selected the Infinera DTN in
2009. In November 2011, TSIC and Infinera performed the world's first
terabit trial in California based on DTN-X equipment. In June 2012,
TSIC was named Best Global NGN Optical Network at the DWDM Awards in
Monaco. The Infinera DTN-X platform, featuring Instant Bandwidth(TM),
is available and shipping to customers.
