Infinera accounts for 38% of the long-haul 100G ports sold in third-quarter

Dell’Oro Group’s Optical Transport Report ranks Infinera Corp of Sunnyvale, CA, USA first for Q3/2012 in the global long-haul 100G market, in terms of the number of long-haul 100G ports sold. Q3 was the first quarter that Infinera began recognizing revenue from the new DTN-X platform.

According to the report, Infinera accounts for 38% of the long-haul 100G ports sold in the quarter, and 22% of all long-haul 100G ports sold since the long-haul 100G market emerged in 2010. Dell’Oro Group forecasts the global 100G dense wavelength division multiplexing market to grow at greater than 120% each year for the next five years.

Infinera’s DTN-X platform is designed for global network operators facing increasing bandwidth demands driven by video, high speed data and cloud-based services, says the firm. The DTN-X integrates five Terabits of OTN switching capacity with market-leading 100G transport capacity, and enables optical transport network operators to efficiently deploy 100G wavelengths by delivering the world’s first and only commercially available 500G long-haul super-channels.
