Pacnet owns and operates the leading pan-Asian submarine
cable network touching 21 cable landing stations and extends from India to the
U.S. At the heart of this network is EAC-C2C, Asia’s leading state-of-the-art
fiber optic submarine cable network, which spans 36,800 km and serves customers
globally.
This successful test with Infinera demonstrates that
Pacnet’s network can scale up with the industry’s latest high speed optical
technologies to deliver faster services to our customers,” Barney added.
Infinera is a provider of super-channels embedded with
FlexCoherent technology. The company said that the sSuper-channels based on
PICs enable operators to simply provision 500 Gb/s of capacity with a single
operational maneuver.
Furthermore, FlexCoherent technology allows operators to
optimize transmission performance across a range of applications using multiple
software-programmable modulation formats. And, the DTN-X boasts integrated OTN
switching without compromise and married with an automated GMPLS control plane
delivers Bandwidth Virtualization.
“Long-haul capable 500Gb/s super-channels are
critical for carrier networks, especially in submarine applications such as
Pacnet. In fact, the real value of Infinera’s DTN-X goes well beyond its sheer
size and bandwidth efficiency,” said Tom Fallon, Infinera CEO.
