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.”
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
