Infinera opens office for Asia Pacific customers
The facility in Hong Kong is aimed at demonstrating the firm’s indium phosphide digital optical network innovation as Infinera expands in the APAC.
Infinera has announced the opening of a new full- service facility in Hong Kong, demonstrating its commitment to provide enhanced levels of service and support to customers in Asia Pacific.
The new facility provides a localised environment for product demonstrations, training, and support for the growing number of APAC customers who deploy Infinera’s innovative Digital Optical Network technology to offer services more rapidly and more profitably.
Staffed with sales, engineering, technical and operational support teams, the new presence in Hong Kong will also enable Infinera to gain ongoing, in-depth understanding of market requirements and respond faster to customers’ needs.
Infinera changed optical networking in 2004 with the introduction of the DTN, which remains the industry’s first and only solution that integrates Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) directly with OTN switching through the use of InP based Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). This pioneering integration of DWDM and OTN via PICs enables the
