[March 19, 2013] Pacnet deploys Infinera DTN-X With 500 Gb/s Super-Channels Tweet Mar 19, 2013 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) and Pacnet has announced Pacnet's deployment of the Infinera DTN-X platform, featuring 500 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) long-haul super-channels. The DTN-X platform provides Pacnet with what we believe is the industry's most technologically advanced solution for 100 Gb/s services and is the largest regional deployment of 100 Gb/s technology to date. Pacnet owns and operates EAC and C2C, Asia's leading state-of-the-art fibre optic submarine cable networks with 21 cable landing stations extending from India to the US The network spans 46,800 km and serves global customers with a comprehensive range of network and managed services. Infinera is the first to deliver 500 Gb/s long-haul super-channels based on Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and the FlexCoherent Processor, scaling transport capacity without scaling operational complexity. Infinera's PICs combine multiple optical subsystems on a single IC and results in fewer fibre connections, less space, and less power when compared to conventional systems based upon discrete components. Today, Infinera introduced FastSMP, what we believe is the industry's only hardware accelerated Shared Mesh Protection technology. FastSMP will deliver dramatic improvements in network-wide resilience to service providers while lowering total network costs. Infinera specializes in Digital Optical Networking systems that are designed to continually improve the economics of optical networking by combining the speed of optics with the simplicity of digital.
