Infinera yesterday announced that Instant Bandwidth is now available on the DTN-X platform. Instant Bandwidth allows network operators to rapidly deploy bandwidth in 100 Gigabits per second (100G) increments without the typical long wait times. TeliaSonera International Carrier (TSIC) is the first to announce the selection and deployment of the Infinera DTN-X platform with Instant Bandwidth for their nationwide network.
“2012 has been the ‘year of 100G’: interest in 100G is broad-based and deployments are outpacing our market projections,” said Dana Cooperson, VP Network Infrastructure at Ovum. “Operators need a way to keep pace with uncertain network traffic growth without under or over provisioning infrastructure capacity. Network operators want to deploy capacity at 100G incrementally while minimizing and balancing capex and opex. This success-based business approach allows operators to rapidly deploy capacity as customer demand arises and differentiate their offering in a highly competitive market. Infinera’s Instant Bandwidth™ is a very interesting approach to an important 100G business requirement.”
Infinera DTN-X platform allows network operators to instantly provision an additional 100G of network capacity with one-click. It also enables service providers to differentiate their services by shortening provisioning times and accelerating service delivery while simultaneously reducing time to revenue. Transport network operators, like TSIC, are experiencing increased and variable demand for bandwidth from customers, and Infinera’s Instant Bandwidth is the industry’s first software-activated 100G bandwidth delivery solution that enables a success-based business model for service providers. These operators can immediately deploy 100G of incremental network capacity at the same time they activate the customer service. This capability enables an architecture where bandwidth can be provisioned on demand and potentially moved throughout the network.
“Instant Bandwidth on the DTN-X creates more opportunities for our customers to win by using time as a weapon to compete and respond to increasingly variable demands to flexibly grow and manage network capacity,” said Dave Welch, Infinera Co-founder, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer. “Software activated bandwidth changes the business model and the economics of transport networking, accelerating time to revenue for operators while boosting their competitiveness.”
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 technology. Infinera’s systems leverage Photonic Integrated Circuit technology to provide customers with a service-ready architecture that enables faster time-to-revenue and greater profitability through network efficiency and the ability to rapidly deliver differentiated services without reengineering their optical infrastructure.
