Core-Backbone boosts German network with Infinera solution
Infinera has announced that Core-Backbone, a large network provider, has deployed Infinera’s GX Series ICE6 800G coherent solution to upgrade and extend key network routes between Nuremburg and Munich, Nuremburg and Prague, and Hamburg and Düsseldorf.
The solution doubles network capacity on each network segment while reducing power consumption per bit.
Core-Backbone is one of the fastest-growing German carriers, operating in Europe, Asia, and North America. With Infinera’s GX Series, Core-Backbone’s network can deliver capacity at 800G per wavelength, with the option to upgrade to 1.2T, significantly increasing capacity on the network at the lowest cost and lowest power per bit.
“Infinera’s leading GX solution, similar to Infinera’s XTM platform currently in our network, was easy to install and deploy, eliminating lengthy set up times and avoiding any interruptions in service,” said Ulrich Koehler, head of Network and IT-Operation, Core-Backbone.
“We are pleased to support Core-Backbone’s network upgrade and expansion plans, which support critical telecommunications, data centres, and financial services across the globe,” said Nick Walden, VSP of Worldwide Sales, Infinera. “Infinera’s GX Series coupled with the XTM Series will enable Core-Backbone to provide its customers with cost-effective, high-capacity, and highly available services.”
