Infinera Introduces the DTN-X: Innovation from the Ground Up

At 5T Infinera's DTN-X is the largest integrated WDM/OTN product today; it is upgradable to 10T per bay and will include a 100 Tb/s system in the future. In various configurations the DTN-X can support up to 24T on a single fiber.

With 150 patents backing it up, Infinera is introducing the DTN-X with a "clean slate design." The DTN-X uses the 500G coherent technology Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) combined with large-scale OTN switching and grooming. The backplane supports 1 Tb/s/slot and is designed to support a multibay approach to larger configurations. This is the largest OTN/WDM switched transport product announced to date.

Eventually, the DTN-X will support MPLS with LSR functionality to enable statistical multiplexing. Perhaps the most unique quality of this new product is its uncompromising scale. It can support up to 5T of WDM line side 500G super channels or 5T of client side services, all with nonblocking OTN switching with the ability to “dial up or down” without tradeoffs. In various configurations the DTN-X can support up to 24T on a single fiber.
