Cox chose Infinera based on the flexibility and scalability of the Infinera Digital Optical Networks architecture, enabling the company to accommodate the rapid growth for both its residential and business customers. With integrated switching enabled by large-scale photonic integration, and 100Gbs on every line card, the Infinera DTN offers Cox the ability to offer multiple services from a single platform.
The Infinera DTN provides many key benefits for multiple system cable operators seeking to move from traditional DWDM architectures to a converged network offering multiple services on one flexible and scalable platform. The Infinera DTN platform is designed to enable MSOs to take advantage of protection and digital multicast features as well as digital ROADM functionality that integrates DWDM transport with sub-wavelength switching and reconfigurability.
"Infinera is thrilled to have Cox Communications as a customer," says Infinera CEO Jagdeep Singh, "Deployment by Cox, one of the world's best-known cable providers, shows that the Infinera Digital Optical Networks architecture is a good fit for cable providers, who need networks that can accommodate rapid growth and the demands of networks as they move into a new age of voice, video on demand, data and wireless for the residence and for business."
