Introducing Digital Optical Networks

Infinera has introduced a new transport network architecture, the Digital Optical Network, that leverages fundamental advances in both large-scale photonic integration and optical system architecture to create a disruptive shift in network architecture and economics. A Digital Optical Network enables carriers to deploy an optical service platform into metro, regional and long haul core transport networks to maximize service flexibility, minimize bandwidth costs, simplify network operations, and consolidate network architectures. This paper outlines the concept and benefits of an Infinera Digital Optical Network, including the ability to consolidate network architecture, maximize customer revenue capture, and reduce both capital and operating costs.
