Infinera has supplied its DTN-X packet optical transport networking platform to Australia Japan Cable (AJC) to complete a multi-terabit upgrade to AJC’s network.

This second and final phase of deployment, which is providing diverse fiber paths into cable landing stations in Australia, Guam and Japan, enables an Intelligent Transport Network for AJC, said Infinera in a statement.

AJC, owned by telecom service providers such as Telstra, AT&T, NTT, Verizon and Softbank, offers connectivity and bandwidth across a 12,700 km submarine fiber optic cable network linking Australia, Guam and Japan.

“This network upgrade with Infinera’s Intelligent Transport Network has enabled the retirement of AJC’s original 10G transport equipment and the transfer of traffic to the more capable Infinera DTN-X platform,” said Philip Murphy, head of Engineering at AJC.

“The original AJC 10G technology served us well but the efficiency, flexibility and speed of deploying the Infinera DTN-X to deliver 100G allows AJC to be more responsive to our customers in terms of client interfaces and traffic switching,” Murphy added.
