Aire Networks Deploys Infinera’s ICE-X Intelligent Coherent Pluggable Solution to Increase Capacity of Its Single-fiber Network
April 08 2024 - 7:00AM
Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN) announced today that Aire Networks, a
subsidiary of Grupo Aire, deployed Infinera’s software-programmable
ICE-X coherent pluggable solution to expand the capacity of its
single-fiber network infrastructure across Spain and Portugal. The
ability of Infinera’s innovative ICE-X solution to provide
ultra-high-speed transmissions over a single fiber in a pluggable
form factor enables Aire Networks to continue to meet the bandwidth
demands of its customers while maintaining its cost-effective
single-fiber infrastructure.
Aire Networks is a wholesale telecommunications operator with a
network that spans over 33,000 kilometers, operating in Spain and
Portugal, covering 90% of the territory and providing connectivity,
voice, mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE), media, cloud, and
data center solutions to local and regional operators as well as
enterprise customers throughout the country.
Leveraging digital subcarrier technology, Infinera’s ICE-X
solution can transmit up to 200 Gb/s bidirectionally per wavelength
on a single fiber in a compact and power-efficient pluggable form
factor. With 64 wavelengths supported per fiber, this translates to
12.8 Tb/s of capacity on a single fiber – substantially increasing
the number of services that can be delivered by Aire Networks.
Infinera partnered with APFutura to design and deploy the
solution.
“Aire Networks is committed to providing our customers with the
best connectivity available by utilizing cutting-edge industry
solutions and innovations,” said Zigor Gaubeca, CTO at Aire
Networks. “Leveraging innovative technology like Infinera’s ICE-X
enables us to meet the needs of our customers, providing efficient,
high-quality services that can scale to meet our customers’
demand.”
“Partnering with Infinera to design and deploy these types of
innovative solutions brings significant value to network operators
like Aire Networks,” said Jordi Ros, CTO at APFutura. “Infinera’s
next-generation ICE-X coherent pluggables offer an industry-leading
solution that sets Infinera apart from competitors, enabling our
end-user customers to benefit from more efficient networks and
deliver new high-speed services.”
“Infinera is pleased to collaborate with APFutura in providing
an innovative solution to Aire Networks that enabled them to meet
their network objectives,” said Lorraine Twigg, Global VP of
Channel Partners, Infinera. “This achievement underscores how
network operators can leverage Infinera’s unique solutions to
improve connectivity and infrastructure across the globe and the
critical role our partners play in delivering open optical
network.”
