Provider of digital optical networking systems, Infinera has conferred about the next-generation optical solutions at the Carrier Ethernet Backhaul & Exchange Europe Conference in London, from October 11 to 13, 2010. The discussed optical solutions have been designed to enhance the network efficiency, performance and bandwidth.
Infinera spoke on developing low-latency fiber-optic networks to support high-performance applications, where the latency time is a crucial distinguisher. The company has employed low-latency network solutions in Europe and the UK.
Infinera also spoke on utilizing GMPLS for automating the optical network’s management. The GMPLS network management system allows point-and-click circuit provisioning to be performed easily between the two end-points of the network. Thus, it provides swift response to the requirements of the customer, lowers operating costs, and utilizes network resources in a better manner.
Colt, a provider of fiber-optic services, has attained substantial decrease in latency on the pan-European Long Distance Network, with the help of Infinera’s network. Both the companies had demonstrated 100 Gigabit Ethernet services on low-latency network between Frankfurt and London.
The Chief Technology Officer of Colt, Luke Broome stated that with the help of Infinera, the company has been able to provide improved low-latency performance in major routes in Europe.
