Infinera fornece solução de rede de transporte óptica sob demanda
Writing, Infra News Telecom
Infinera, the manufacturer of end-to-end optical transport network equipment, focuses on on-demand solutions, enabling operators to expand bandwidth capacity according to their needs.
An example is the Infinite Network solution, launched last February. According to the company, it is an open-ended, disruptive end-to-end network architecture with automation and machine learning, paving the way for scalable infrastructures that are instantly self-optimized and dynamically adapting to the demands of users and applications.
Andrés Madero, director of architecture for service providers and business development for Infinera Latam, explains that the platform is designed for operators to scale their networks efficiently to support the continuous growth of bandwidth and new applications sensitive to latency, including 5G, Distributed Access Architectures (DAAs), data center interconnection, and cloud-based enterprise services.
Basically, it consists of the Infinite Edge (Infinite Edge), Infinite Core (Infinite Core) and Cognitive Networking (cognitive networking) modules. The first enables customers to deploy high performance, low latency networks with operational efficiency and optical routing and unbundling technologies.
Infinite Core delivers instantaneous performance and scalability of the metro core to undersea networks with up to 800 Gbps per wavelength transmission. Cognitive networking solutions help automate the network for operational efficiency and service agility. "This combination generates economy, simplicity and carrier-class experience. The Infinite Network builds on the innovations and advantages of Infinera's integrated technologies, enabling customers to meet the demands of next-generation emerging services and directly impacting their revenues. By exploring the advances of software-based networks such as physical resource virtualization and service orchestration in end-to-end multi-layer networks, the service provider will be able to take advantage of every market opportunity,
with economy, "completes Madero.
Brazilian market Infinera has a great interest in Brazil. "In addition to the size of the Brazilian market, what stands out are its innovation standards. The country has also become a benchmark in submarine cables and Infinera has already proven world records in submarine long-range optical transmissions. "
For the executive, Brazilian operators are already preparing to implement optical infrastructure capable of meeting the demand for new technologies like IoT - Internet of Things, 5G and cloud, with better cost-efficiency. Among the company's stakes in the country are solutions based on SDC - Software Defined Capacity, which provide on-demand capacity for operators. "Our Instant Bandwidth offering has attracted our customers in Brazil, as it prepares the infrastructure to enable Terabits networks, when needed, without the need for extra hardware in the field."
Madero also highlights ODTN - Optical Disaggregated Transport Networks technology. This is because operators are looking for more flexible ways to deploy their optical networks. "Our OpenICE solution offers a comprehensive approach to this trend and brings a world-class suite of tools to easily illuminate new fiber optic capabilities over existing infrastructure with state-of-the-art capabilities and reusing legacy DWDM systems."
With commercial offices in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba, the company operates directly and through partners. The Brazilian subsidiary conducts training and has a laboratory for demonstrations and testing of equipment, offering services and support to customers and partners. Among its clients are Copel Telecom , Aloo Telecom and Tely.
Networks of 200 to 800 Gpbs According to Madero, operators will need more and more capacity to achieve efficiency and spectrum with lower cost per bit. In this sense, networks must rapidly evolve beyond the 200 and 400 Gbps wavelengths, reaching 600 and 800 Gbps. "As transmission speeds reach 800 Gbps, key technologies include vertical integration, Nyquist subcarriers, and the efficient probabilistic constellation shaping technique used in optimizing modulation formatting."
He adds that operators will have to overcome some of the challenges to achieve such a migration, such as reducing energy consumption and physical space in their data centers, and performing adequate capacity planning. "You will need to invest more and more on high density platforms. Our Infinity Capacity Engine (ICE) technology, for example, delivers performance, spectral efficiency, best cost-per-bit and improved operating models, such as instant and on-demand bandwidth, "he says.
Acquisition In 2018, Infinera acquired Coriant, a global provider of open network solutions for carriers. With the business, the company started to market package solutions for end-to-end optical networks (from layer 0 to layer 3). "Our customers face a myriad of challenges such as cost-effectiveness of optical scalability and operational complexity due to multi-vendor multi-vendor networks and security domains. Today our portfolio meets these and other demands, "says Madero.
Last year, the company's worldwide turnover reached the mark of $ 943.4 million - in 2017, that figure was $ 740.7 million. "The main factor behind this growth was the purchase of Coriant, whose results were included in the fourth quarter of 2018. We closed the year with 3876 employees," says Madeiro. The company serves the major carriers and Internet content providers in the world, such as Telefonica, NTT Communications and Vodafone. |
