Infinera Corporation (Infinera) has developed a solution for optical communications networks. The Company’s photonic integrated circuits (PICs) transmit and receive 100 gigabits per second of optical capacity and incorporate the functionality of over 60 discrete optical components into a pair of indium phosphide chips. Infinera has used its PIC technology to design a digital optical communications system called the digital transport node (DTN) System. Infinera’s carrier-class DTN System runs the Company’s Infinera IQ Network Operating System and is integrated with its Infinera Management Suite software. Infinera’s PICs enable its DTN System to provide optical to electrical to optical conversions at every network access point to provide communications service providers with the ability to digitally process the information being transported across their optical networks.
