Infinera Announces ICE6, the Next-generation Infinite Capacity Engine Featuring 800G Waves

February 19, 2019

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infinera announced today its sixth-generation Infinite Capacity Engine, ICE6, a new benchmark in high-capacity optical transmission with dual-channel 800 gigabits per second (800G) per wave and leading optical performance. Part of The Infinite Network, ICE6 builds on the success of Infinera’s ICE4 and Instant Bandwidth with a 1.6 terabits per second (1.6T) optical engine, providing a seamless path for network operators to meet the relentless growth of bandwidth and increasingly dynamic, unpredictable traffic flows.

Packaged in a cross-platform digital coherent module, ICE6 combines Infinera’s sixth-generation photonic integrated circuit (PIC) with its in-house 7 nanometer (nm) FlexCoherent® digital signal processor (DSP) technology. The ICE6 PIC is available today, and will be demonstrated for the first time at the Optical Fiber Conference and Exhibition ( OFC) in San Diego, California from March 5-7, 2019. The FlexCoherent 6 DSP will be available in Q3-2019, with the complete ICE6 optical engine available by end of year, and platforms powered by ICE6 commercially available in the second half of 2020.

High baud rate transmissions like 800G have extremely tight tolerances in module design. With the use of revolutionary Nyquist subcarriers, deep vertical integration and mastery of indium phosphide photonics, Infinera is uniquely positioned to deliver an industry-leading 800G solution. Featuring a second-generation probabilistic constellation shaping engine, powered by 7 nm technology and a comprehensive toolkit of advanced coherent technologies, ICE6 will deliver up to 45 percent higher maximum capacity per fiber, streamlined operations and lowest total cost of ownership.

“Infinera has historically been a leader in photonic integration and at the forefront of developing solutions in house, exemplified by high-volume shipments of multiple generations of coherent engines,” said Andrew Schmitt, Directing Analyst, Optical Networking at Cignal AI. “ICE6 should demonstrate similar leadership, with levels of optical performance that deliver greater capacity and reach for network operators.”

“Infinera continues to lead industry innovation with ICE6, delivering the first coherent 800G per wave solution to the market ahead of schedule,” said Dr. Dave Welch, Infinera Founder and Chief Innovation Officer. “Similar to the launch of ICE4, ICE6 will transform the market by delivering cutting-edge technology, designed in house, enabling network operators to respond to the insatiable demand for capacity quickly while optimizing costs.”

I am so confused. Are they shipping ICE5 right now? There wasn't a single product announcement that mentioned ICE5. There was that Telia thing running ICE5 on a production network in October last year. This Infinite Network press release talks about 600G waves, which is ICE5, but they haven't issued any product press releases. ???

They are going to talk about The Infinite Network in this presentation with AT&T. ihsmarkit.com Attend This presentation will begin on Tuesday, February 19, 2019 at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. Audience members may arrive 15 minutes in advance of this time. Add this event to your calendar Summary Date: Tuesday, February 19, 2019 Time: 8 am San Francisco / 11 am New York / 4 pm London Duration: 45 min + Q&A Overview Operator networks are changing in significant ways. The edge is the natural target for new revenue creation from end-user services and applications that are based on edge-located virtualized elements of mobile infrastructure and powerful compute capabilities for multi-access edge compute (MEC). Service providers must make critical architectural decisions to optimize network hardware/software infrastructure for the high-capacity, low-latency traffic demands of 5G, IoT, and an array of edge-based applications. In addition, they face the challenge of applying innovative technologies like network slicing, SDN/NFV, and micro data centers to achieve bottom-line results. This webinar explores go-to-market service creation and deployment strategies in an open edge ecosystem of network and compute including virtualized 4G/5G. Who Should Attend Telco service providers (mobile operators, carriers, cable operators, etc.), cloud service providers and data center operators, and those interested in virtualization and edge compute. Financial analysts and the media are also encouraged to attend. Key Topics for Discussion How operators can launch new edge services, including IoT, AR/VR/MR, NFV and 5GNew ways operators plan to optimize edge compute deployments to shorten time to revenueEnabling compute deployments in areas with limited space, cooling, and powerThe role of open, disaggregated networking and SDN/NFV software in deploying edge servicesAnswers to audience questions during live Q&A Speakers Michael Howard, Executive Research Director, Carrier Networks, IHS MarkitRobert Shore, Senior Vice President, Marketing, InfineraAmy Wheelus, Vice President - Network Cloud, AT&TAllen Tatara, Senior Manager, Webinar Events, IHS Markit (Moderator)
