Infinera Corporation (Infinera) has developed a solution for optical
communications networks. The Company’s photonic integrated circuits
(PICs) transmit and receive 100 gigabits per second of optical capacity
and incorporates the functionality of over 60 discrete optical
components into a pair of indium phosphide chips approximately the size
of a child’s fingernail. Infinera has used its PIC technology to design
a digital optical communications system called the digital transport
node (DTN) System. The DTN System is designed to enable optical to
electrical to optical (O-E-O) conversion of communications signals.
Infinera’s carrier-class DTN System runs the Company’s Infinera IQ
Network Operating System and is integrated with its Infinera Management
Suite software. Its PIC technology facilitates a network architecture
that allows communications service providers to realize the benefits of
both the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and digital processing.
