The company believes that this demonstration shows it’s ability to meet ultra-long-haul reach requirements while delivering a significant boost in fiber capacity at a better cost-per-bit.
“We expect that Infinera’s 100G system will reach the market at a time that enables 100G mass adoption,” said Infinera CEO Tom Fallon. “In addition, Infinera 100G networks will offer very significant competitive advantages. Advanced features like digital bandwidth management and ‘Bandwidth Virtualization’, which customers expect from Infinera, will continue to deliver valuable benefits in our intelligent networks. We believe that traditional muxponder-based DWDM systems become even more inefficient when carrying a wide range of lower-speed services over 100G wavelengths.”
Infinera expects 40G demand to be limited, but believes a product may be required in the short term for applications needing additional fiber capacity such as terrestrial and submarine deployments. The firm intends to deliver 40G digital intelligence and a compatibility with 10G networks to the DTN next year.
The product development plan for 40G and 100G networks should provide customers with the best roadmap to accommodate future needs for strong bandwidth growth. The new set of products is intended to enable service providers to expand their networks quickly and cost-effectively, while the disruptive economics of 500G PICs will help them generate better business results.
“Our mission at Infinera is to enable our customers to build and operate the world’s best optical networks,” said Mr. Fallon. “We believe that this product plan will give customers the networks they need to meet the challenges of the coming decade.”

Cree reveals quietest GaN amp
The five HEMT MMIC power amplifiers are claimed to expand frequency range and include first commercially available GaN Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
Cree has developed five new wide bandgap GaN HEMT MMIC amplifiers that increase the range of frequencies available through X-Band. As part of a sample release, the MMICs are currently available as bare die and are targeted to be available in packaged formats later this year.
“ The introduction of these MMICs expands our leadership position in providing GaN solutions that improve system performance beyond what can be realized using traditional GaAs MMIC technology for applications such as communication systems, homeland defense, electronic warfare and radar from S-band through X-band”, said Jim Milligan, Director of RF & Microwave Products. “
