Infinera delivers carrier-grade DWDM systems, coherent optics, and optical transport platforms engineered for networks that demand absolute signal integrity and scalable capacity from metro to subsea.
From coherent pluggable optics to complete DWDM transport platforms, every Infinera product is built to exceed ITU-T and IEC performance specifications.
Our proprietary digital signal processing achieves 6.2 bits/s/Hz spectral efficiency with advanced modulation formats up to 64QAM, enabling 800G per wavelength over metro and long-haul distances.
Multi-channel photonic integration reduces per-bit cost by consolidating lasers, modulators, and receivers onto a single InP chip, delivering up to 2.4 Tbps aggregate line-side capacity.
Standards-based open line system architecture with YANG/NETCONF programmability enables multi-vendor interoperability and automated wavelength provisioning across disaggregated networks.
ML-driven optical performance monitoring predicts fiber degradation and optimizes channel power in real time, reducing mean time to repair by up to 70% across deployed networks.
From tier-1 telecom carriers to hyperscale cloud providers, Infinera's optical transport solutions power the world's most demanding networks.

A northern European tier-1 carrier needed to double backbone capacity across 2,400 km without deploying new fiber. Infinera's C+L band DWDM platform with 400G coherent wavelengths was deployed across 14 ROADM nodes in Q3 2022. Post-deployment measurements confirmed 38.4 Tbps aggregate capacity with a measured BER below 1.2 x 10-15 after FEC, achieving 96% spectral utilization across the C+L band.
A North American cloud provider deployed 400ZR+ coherent pluggables across 48 inter-data-center links spanning 60 to 180 km in 2023. The migration from discrete 100G DWDM to 400ZR+ pluggables reduced per-bit transport cost by 62% and power consumption by 45% per link, while consolidating four wavelengths into one. Turn-up time decreased from 14 days to under 72 hours using OpenConfig automation.
A national defense ministry in the Asia-Pacific region deployed Infinera's encrypted optical transport across 1,800 km of dedicated fiber connecting 7 secure sites in 2021. The system provides Layer-1 AES-256 encryption with FIPS 140-2 validated key management, delivering sub-5ms latency between nodes. Annual network availability measured 99.9994% over the first 24 months of operation.
