Infinera top dog in North America
In Q3 2011, the indium phosphide PIC provider achieved number three position worldwide in the terrestrial long haul WDM transport and ROADM market
Infinera, provider of InP based digital optical networking solutions, has announced that Infonetics Research ranks Infinera the number-one supplier in the North America terrestrial long-haul WDM transport and ROADM market. This ranking demonstrates the company's continual growth and market reach.
"In the third quarter of 2011, Infinera posted a revenue increase that moves them into first position in North America and third position worldwide for combined terrestrial long-haul WDM transport and ROADM equipment," noted Andrew Schmitt, directing analyst for optical at Infonetics Research.
Infinera's market share results in the third quarter for North America were driven largely by leading cable companies, wholesale carriers, Tier 1 customers and Internet Content Providers. European wholesale carriers and opportunities in the submarine space contributed to the company's third quarter growth worldwide.

"Infinera's solution for network operators helps them be more responsive to their customers' needs while confidently planning for future network growth. We are pleased by Infonetics' ranking as this reflects the support and faith our customers continue to put in us."
