Infinera Corporation provides optical networking systems
based on photonic integration technology in the United
States. Its digital transport node (DTN) system utilizes the
photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology to enable
digital processing and management of data with the
capability to generate wavelength division multiplexing
wavelengths and to add, drop, switch, manage, protect, and
restore network traffic digitally. The companys PICs
transmit and receive 100 Gigabits per second of optical
capacity and incorporate the functionality of approximately
60 discrete optical components into a pair of indium
phosphide chips. The DTN System is used to enable optical
to electrical to optical conversions at every network access
point to provide communications service providers with the
ability to digitally process the information being
transported across their optical networks. It also offers a
range of support offerings, including 24/7/365 hardware and
software technical support, installation and deployment
services, spares management, first line maintenance
services, on-site technical services, professional services,
product technical training, and extended product warranties.
