TeliaSonera International Carrier (TSIC) has expanded its network across North America by using the DTN-X platform from Infinera Corp of Sunnyvale, CA, USA - a vertically integrated manufacturer of digital optical network systems incorporating its own indium phosphide-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs) - delivering long-haul FlexCoherent 500Gb/s super-channels based on 500Gb/s PICs and Instant Bandwidth.
TSIC has added an additional 18,400km fiber to its existing North America network, to reach 44 points of presence (PoPs) by the end of this year and providing diverse connection capabilities to Latin America.
Global IP carrier TSIC operates a fiber-optic network connecting 200 PoPs across Europe, North America and Asia. Customers include content providers and network operators globally for IP, DWDM, Ethernet, voice and specialized IPX-based mobile services. TSIC was the first to deploy an Infinera Intelligent Transport Network and Instant Bandwidth in North America, reaching 35 PoPs in 23 cities. Now, the Infinera Intelligent Transport Network is also deployed throughout TSIC's North America network and in part of its European backbone.
"We are also providing professional support services to help ensure their network is deployed, operated and maintained," says Bob Jandro, Infinera's senior VP, worldwide sales.
