Infinera announced that Colt, a pan-European network operator, has deployed its low-latency optical networking systems to support the low latency services on the latter’s network. By using the optical networking systems of Infinera, Colt now offers networking services with 2.65ms measured latency between Brussels and Paris, and 4.22ms latency between London and Frankfurt.
The low-latency solutions of Infinera offer lower latency than traditional DWDM solutions, by using new electronics and optics that drive the latency out of the network. These solutions enable native wavelength delivery across the network. They also deliver other key storage and data protocols for disaster recovery, business continuity, and other such applications.
The company’s Digital Optical Networks architecture facilitates cost-efficient and user-friendly function of the optical network. Infinera's management software, which is GMPLS-powered, offers swift provisioning of services and complete management of the network.
Chris Liou, Infinera’s VP for network strategy, stated that the company has worked with Colt to provide the lowest latency possible for the Colt network. He added that the company is delighted that Colt has deployed their Bandwidth Virtualization solution to allow differentiated low-latency services in Europe.
