AJC deploys Infinera technology for submarines
AUSTRALIA JAPAN CABLE (AJC), operator of the AJC cable system between Japan and Australia, has deployed the Infinera DTN-X platform across its submarine network.
The InP based Infinera Intelligent Transport Network, featuring the DTN-X platform with SD FEC super-channels and integrated OTN switching, enables AJC to significantly expand their cable’s capacity and rapidly deliver 10, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet services.
Australia Japan Cable offers connectivity and bandwidth, serving their customers, with a 12,700 km submarine fibre optic cable network from diverse landings in Australia, Guam and Japan.
AJC is composed of a consortium of
leading service providers including Telstra, AT&T, NTT, Verizon and Softbank.
Infinera provides AJC with the DTN-X platform featuring long haul super- channels with SD-FEC based on one of the industry’s most widely deployed Photonic Integrated Circuit and the FlexCoherent Processor, supporting up to 500 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) in a single line card.
The DTN-X platform is also equipped with 1 Tb/s per slot to support higher capacity 1 Tb/s super-channel line cards for future scaling needs.
“To meet the growing bandwidth needs of carrier, enterprise and ISP customers, AJC is significantly increasing the capacity of our network,” says Philip
Murphy, Head of Engineering at Australia Japan Cable. “We selected an Infinera Intelligent Transport Network because it allowed us to scale capacity while simplifying operations.
“The Infinera Intelligent Transport Network provides AJC a mesh network of 500 Gb/s super-channels with soft decision forward error correction, ensuring the AJC network delivers increased network resiliency while delivering the capacity demanded by their customers,” continues Andrew Bond Webster, Vice President Sales at Infinera.
Soraa GaN LED lamps knock out halogen drawbacks CALIFORNIA based gallium nitride expert
Soraa has launched its first line of high colour and white rendering, high light output LED GU10 230V dimmable lamps.
The company says it has released a 10 degree spot version, not available in halogen or from other LED manufacturers, as well as a 25 degree version that has a peak intensity higher than halogen and all other LED GU10 products.
Now customers can buy transformer-free, full visible spectrum Soraa LED GU10 lamps that spectacularly render colours
and whites; without beam striations, artefacts or multiple shadows visible in other manufacturer’s LED products.
“Soraa’s no compromise, full visible spectrum, high colour rendering LED lamps are simply the best on the market today. Our products excel in the key elements that define quality of light: light output, colour rendering, white rendering, and beam definition. The Soraa GU10 lamps provide unmatched light output, perfectly uniform beams, exceptional rendering of colors and whites, full dimmability, long lamp life, dramatically improved energy efficiency, and excellent
compatibility,” says Jeff Parker, CEO of Soraa. “All these features are made possible through our proprietary GaN- on=GaN LED technology and innovative lamp design.”
The company’s continuous full visible spectrum Soraa Vivid 2 LED GU10 lamps, with a CRI of 95 and R9 greater than 90, render deep reds and cyans dramatically and accurately and have no artificial spectral “blue-peak”. And just like natural light, the violet component of the full visible spectrum makes whites in fabrics and fibres stand out in their intended brightness and tint.
