04 Nov Infinera‘s Optical Transport Solutions are making waves
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN), a leading optical transmission solution provider, announced that its 7300 Multi-haul Transport Platform, mTera Universal Transport Platform, and Transcend software-defined networking (SDN) solution were adapted by Gtd, a Chilean multi-service telecommunications provider with operations in Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Spain. The systems will be used to increase its capacity across its territorial network in Chile, and its subsea submarine optical fiber project named “PRAT”, to provide high-quality internet for wholesale, enterprise, and residential customers.
Gtd currently operates subsea and terrestrial internet networks, providing high connectivity and fixed mobile phone services through seven data centers. The deployment of Infinera’s systems will enable it to offer more efficient networking solutions, which are SDN-ready, highly scalable, and resilient, for its local customers, in addition to providing services such as data center interconnect, private cloud, and high-speed internet access. Infinera’s solutions will offer reliability of nearly 99.999% and improve uptime for Gtd’s customers.

Industry
The advent of the internet and rapid globalization is driving the demand for high-quality, reliable data transmission. Increased adoption of IT–based solutions, the need for networking in almost all spheres of life and growing demand for mobile and internet services are other factors which are contributing to the growth in the industry. Optical transmission is rapidly emerging as one of the fastest growing industries owing to reliability and ease of implementation. Wavelength Division multiplexing is emerging as one of the most focal segments of the global optical equipment market.
WaveLength division multiplexing is a technology that regulates varied data streams and wavelengths of laser light, onto a single optical fiber. It not only enables bi-directional communication but also facilitates multiplication of signal capacity. The system uses a multiplexer to join multiple signals together and a demultiplexer to split them apart. They are extremely popular and much sought after as they allow telecommunication players to expand their network offering, without having to lay down actual fiber. These enable the telecommunication provider to assimilate technology development in their existing optical structure and increase or decrease the capacity of a link, without having to make any changes to the existing network.
According to a report by Acumen Research and Consulting, the global coherent optical equipment market will be worth over 70.14 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 9.23 percent, from 34.61 billion in 2018. This offers a great opportunity for Companies such as Infinera to gain a strong foothold in the market.
