500 Gb/s Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) and second generation FlexCoherent Processor.
Integrated OTN switching enables efficient utilisation of long-haul capacity while at the same time enabling OVH to rapidly deploy large amounts of optical bandwidth for customer services. The Infinera DTN-X platform will be deployed across routes on OVH’s network, such as the 1,200 kms Roubaix-Paris-Strasbourg-Frankfurt route, scaling the capacity of the network while lowering operational costs.
“We’ve chosen an innovative technology leader, offering the best solution on the market to meet our capacity, flexibility and service lead time requirements,” says Octave Klaba, CEO at OVH. “We continue to be impressed by Infinera’s PIC technology and the DTN-X platform, from significantly simplifying our operations and reducing the time to deploy bandwidth to fundamentally lowering our total cost of ownership.”
“After a rigorous and competitive bid process, OVH’s selection of the DTN-X demonstrates that Infinera’s solution for multi-terabit optical networks proves valuable to markets above and beyond traditional network operators,” adds Chris Champion, VP EMEA Sales for Infinera. “We are pleased that Infinera continues to grow within OVH’s optical footprint as they aggressively deploy cutting edge cloud and web hosting services.”
OVH first selected Infinera’s Digital Optical Network in 2007, deploying the DTN platform for an international expansion across Europe.
Telstra and Infinera go over a mile for Hawaii-California submarines
Infinera’s indium phosphide (InP) PICs have crossed 4,200 km across the Pacific
Infinera has successfully demonstrated a 100 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) optical signal enhanced with Soft Decision Forward Error Correction (SD- FEC) across Telstra Global’s dedicated fibre pair within Segment S5 of AAG Hawaii to California submarine cable.

Infinera says this D-FEC technology has the potential to double the transmission capacity of existing submarine cables. This trial demonstrates the power of SD-FEC in concert with Infinera’s long haul FlexCoherent super-channel technology and how it can optimise both reach and capacity on submarine cables worldwide.
The subsea trial was performed over Telstra Global’s fibre pair within Segment 5 of the AAG cable, connecting San Luis Obispo in Southern California to the island of Oahu in Hawaii and spanning 4,200 km across the Pacific.
The trial was staged using Infinera’s DTN-X platform and a prototype super-channel line card enabled with Infinera’s 3rd generation FlexCoherent Processor for real time SD-FEC processing combined with the InP based 500 Gb/s Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).
Using the additional error recovery capability enabled by the SD-FEC, multiple Infinera FlexCoherent modulation formats were able to close this link with no bit errors detected. The SD-FEC enabled higher order modulation formats to be used which could allow Telstra to increase the available capacity on this link increasing the commercial life of the cable in the face of aggressive increases in internet demand.
A key characteristic of Infinera’s FlexCoherent technology is that the line card can be configured for a specific modulation format via simple software controls, increasing flexibility and maximising capacity and reach while lowering operational and inventory sparing costs.
Telstra Global is a part of Telstra Corporation Limited, one of Australia’s leading
telecommunications and media services company and owner of one of the most technologically advanced IP backbone networks in the world.
Telstra’s dedicated fibre pair within Segment S5 of the AAG submarine cable is part of a system of cables linking the powerhouse economies of Australia and the Far East to the West Coast of the United States. Telstra Global forecasts more than 60 percent annual growth in its trans-Pacific submarine cable traffic over the next three years.
