General Info

Infinera Corporation provides digital optical networking systems to telecommunications carriers worldwide. Infinera s systems are unique in their use of a new semiconductor technology, the Photonic Integrated Circuit. Infinera s systems and PIC technology are designed to provide optical networks with simpler engineering and operations, faster time-to-service and more flexible networking. The Infinera PIC consolidates all the key optical components used in dense wavelength division multiplexing optical transport systems onto a single chip smaller than a fingernail. Each Infinera PIC can send or receive 10 channels of data at 10 Gigabits per second, for total bandwidth of 100 Gb/s -- 10 times the data rate of comparable optical networking systems. The company s headquarters is in Sunnyvale, Calif. Infinera provides complete carrier, multiple system operator and campus solutions for implementing Infinera digital optical networks, from hardware to operating systems and management tools.
