Infinera InP devices expand TeliaSonera International Carrier
The firm has accomplished this with its indium phosphide (InP) based Super-Channel SD-FEC
Infinera says it has the ability to double capacity on a key link in TeliaSonera International Carrier's (TSIC) North America terrestrial network using the world’s first super-channel implementation of Soft Decision Forward Error Correction (SD-FEC).
This is featured on the Infinera InP based DTN-X platform and the company has successfully completed this verification test on a production route in TSIC’s North America network.
The company also announced that the SD-FEC capability is now generally available on the DTN-X platform.
The test was performed on TSIC's Houston to Phoenix fibre link and verifies the ability of Infinera's SD-FEC technology to double the available transmission capacity on this network link. SD-FEC is an advanced error detection and correction technology that enables transport networks to deliver error-free digital information at extremely high data rates and over very long distances, offering networks greater capacity and reach without the need to regenerate the signal en route.
Infinera says its DTN-X platform delivers the industry’s only long haul FlexCoherent 500 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) super-channels based 500 Gb/s Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and the FlexCoherent Processor.
The company has deployed DTN-X networks in 30 countries with hundreds of super-channels activated into production. The DTN-X now offers SD-FEC, which is integrated into Infinera's third generation FlexCoherent Processor chip and combined with a world-record Polarisation Mode Dispersion (PMD) compensation capability that is specifically engineered to optimise capacity and reach.
"As network operators face increasing capacity requirements, they continue to seek solutions at the optical layer that add features and services to increase reach and capacity for 100G and beyond," says Ron Kline, principal analyst, network infrastructure at Ovum.
“Service providers are continuously looking to make better use of their network assets so an SD-FEC enabled 500G supper-channel that nearly doubles the reach of the current system will really resonate with large network operators,” he continues.
Mattias Fridström, Head of Technology at TSIC and keynote speaker at the coming DWM America conference notes, "We operate one of the world's most extensive fibre backbones across North America and Europe including Russia. We operate networks in a variety of environments and conditions; Infinera has proved with us that SD-FEC can double the capacity of key routes on our network.”
Infinera Co-founder and President David Welch adds, “Earlier this year, we demonstrated our third generation FlexCoherent Processor, integrated with SD-FEC along with 500 Gb/s PICs, in a trial that doubled capacity on a submarine cable link from Hawaii to California. Today, we are pleased to announce that these benefits can also be delivered in a terrestrial environment and that the industry’s first super-channel SD-FEC solution is now generally available."
The Intelligent Transport Network, featuring the DTN-X, enables carriers to use time as a weapon to increase revenues with highly reliable, differentiated services while reducing operating costs through scale, multi-layer convergence and automation.

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.
Take control with Nel on-site hydrogen generation.
