14 DAY TRIAL // Infinera Corporation today announced that Citynet has deployed Infinera's DTN platform on a significant portion of its network after completing an intense nine month lab and field trial of Infinera's hardware, software and EMS components.
Citynet offers an array of bandwidth solutions that provide many of the nation's leading wireless and wireline voice, data, and Internet carriers with highly reliable bandwidth solutions into the company's Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets as well as regional Tier 1 markets.
Citynet selected Infinera because of the significant strategic advantages offered by Infinera's "Digital Optical Networking" technology. These include the delivery of high-bandwidth optical services more quickly and flexibly than the competition, the capability to offer new services such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, as well as improved network reliability and service manageability.
The Infinera DTN combines DWDM, digital bandwidth management, and GMPLS-based network intelligence. The DTN supports 800 Gb/s of DWDM capacity and delivers a variety of manageable and protectable SONET/SDH and Ethernet-based services, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN PHY.
The DTN runs Infinera's IQ Network Operating System, which makes its digital bandwidth management possible, provides a rich set of performance monitoring capabilities, and supports automated network discovery, configuration, and provisioning via GMPLS.
