JDSU Solution Accelerates Development of Optical
Transport Network-Based Systems and 100G Networks
Milpitas, Calif., March 6, 2012- JDSUannounced today that Infinera, a market
leader in long-haul wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
optical networking technology, has selected the
JDSU ONT 100G Tester Solutionto help ensure the
high quality and reliability of its new Multi-Terabit DTN-X
platform. Infinera will use JDSU's solution to validate
the quality performance of its customers' 100G solutions
while demonstrating the DTN-X platform on the Infinera
Express, a mobile demo truck, during the
Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC),
March 4-8, in Los Angeles.
The Infinera Express tours the globe to offer hands-on
experience in cutting-edge optical transport innovation, like
500 Gb/s super-channels, coherent modulation and digital
automation. It will use JDSU's 100G test solutions during
these key field demonstrations with communications service
provider customers and at industry forums worldwide.
"Successful 100G deployments are essential for
service providers to meet the challenges resulting from
growing traffic and ensure high quality of service for the
end user," said Dr. Lars Friedrich, vice president and
general manager in JDSU's Communications Test and
Measurement business segment. "Infinera's
demonstrations with JDSU's ONT 100G solution are a
testament to our ongoing customer collaboration efforts to
ensure that service providers receive high quality products
and verify their performance before deploying 100G services
in their network."
The explosion of network traffic, driven by the growing
demand for video and other applications, exacerbates service
quality challenges and contributes to the growing need for
cost-effective transmission and switching technologies.
JDSU's optical network tester (ONT) 100G solution
simulates the complexities of live network traffic with a
very high degree of accuracy. JDSU's ONT 100G solution is
well positioned to demonstrate end customer benefits and
technical advantages with its industry leading breadth and
depth of functionality in all required areas such as physical
layer testing, high speed Ethernet, IP and OTN
switching.
"JDSU's 100G expertise has been central in the
lab and the field to help ensure the success of our
customers' trials," said Michael Capuano, vice
president of corporate marketing at Infinera. "The ONT
100G solution helps test multiple client-side services of
10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE on a line-side 500G super-channel on
the DTN-X. Ultimately this enables our service provider
customers to confidently deploy Infinera solutions maximizing
efficiency of their optical transport network."
The DTN-X is industry's first multi-terabit
packet-optical transport network platform based on the
ground-breaking 500 Gb/s Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).
It is purpose-built to integrate switching with DWDM without
any trade-offs in capacity. The architecture of the DTN-X
extends the ease of use and reliability of Infinera's
successful 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.
JDSU will exhibit its latest ONT 100G solutions at OFC at
booth #1403. Infinera will showcase live operations on a pair
of DTN-X systems in the Infinera Express stationed at booth
#1158.
