Infinera announced that Orange deployed Infinera's GX Series-based ICE6 coherent solution on its new AMITIE subsea cable, which is ready for service from an end-to-end point of view and offers network operators unique and robust transatlantic connectivity with ultra-low latency. Orange selected Infinera's solution based on its optical performance to offer up to 400 GbE services to its customers from the U.S. to France, and across its long-haul terrestrial backhaul network from Boston to New York and Le Porge to Bordeaux in France. Orange powers fully resilient global connectivity capability along the world's busiest route, using two subsea mega cables, Dunant and AMITIE, to connect France and the U.S. Deploying Infinera's innovative ICE6 technology on the GX Series Compact Modular Platform enables Orange to keep pace with future generations of optical transmission technologies while maintaining a high level of performance for the next 20 years.

This deployment also significantly reduces Orange's energy cost per megabit and minimizes its carbon footprint.
