XO Communications (XO) has deployed the Infinera DTN-X packet optical transport networking platform to deliver up to 100G across the XO network.
The multi-terabit Infinera DTN-X platform also enables XO to support cloud, data and video applications nationally.
With the Infinera DTN-X platform, XO Communications benefits from single-card 500 gigabit per second (Gb/s) FlexCoherent super-channel solution. These 500 Gb/s super-channels enable XO to rapidly deliver more than nine terabits per second (Tb/s) of transmission capacity on a single fiber.
500 Gb/s photonic integrated circuits (PICs) developed and fabricated by Infinera enable DTN-X platform to integrate wavelength division multiplexing super-channel transmission with up to 12 Tb/s of non-blocking optical transport network switching.
The DTN-X also features an SDN-ready application programming interface that enables the automation of network operations to reduce both operational cost and service delivery times.
Steve Nocella, XO Communications’ CTO, said: “The Infinera Intelligent Transport Network will enable XO to rapidly, and cost effectively grow network capacity for 100G services, and will also allow us to better meet the bandwidth requirements of our customers.”
