Infinera's Photonic Integrated Circuits Demonstrated Transmission of 40 Gb/s Over Transoceanic Distance

Infinera has demonstrated the transmission of 40 Gigabit/second (Gb/s) services over a distance of 8,477 kilometers across a transoceanic network spanning Europe and the U.S., a record distance for a field trial involving 40 Gb/s services. Infinera believes that this demonstration shows how key Infinera technical innovations can enable service providers to offer new high bandwidth services such as 40 Gb/s or OC-768/STM-256 Packet over SONET (POS) services today, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) in the future, over existing infrastructures with less cost and greater flexibility than the 40 Gb/s solutions offered by traditional WDM providers.
