Infinera establishes Hong Kong-based full-service facility

Infinera Corp of Sunnyvale, CA, USA, a vertically integrated manufacturer of digital optical network systems incorporating its own indium phosphide-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs), has opened a full-service facility in Hong Kong to provide service and support to customers in the Asia-Pacific region. With sales, engineering, technical and operational support teams, the facility offers product demonstrations, training, and support for the growing number of APAC customers who deploy Infinera’s Digital Optical Network technology.

According to Infinera, recent research from market research firm Ovum indicates that the global optical networking equipment market is expected to reach $20bn by 2015, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The Asia-Pacific region was identified as the number one growth region for optical networking sales, adds the firm.
         
“Infinera is focused on growing our footprint in the expanding Asian market,” said Tom Fallon, Infinera CEO. “Building on our success in North America, we have achieved significant growth in EMEA and are now determined to extend this success to APAC.  Infinera has made optical networking faster, simpler and more efficient, and we are excited to demonstrate this innovation to our existing and future customers in APAC.”

“This new facility marks the beginning of a long-term investment by Infinera in APAC,” said Andrew Bond-Webster, VP APAC, Infinera. “We will continue to listen to our customers, make ourselves more accessible to them, and expand our local team of expertise to create winning opportunities for everyone in the long term.”
