Infinera says its DTN was chosen because it supports Global Crossing's strategy of delivering reliable, cost-effective IP services that meet the needs of enterprise and carrier data customers worldwide. Global Crossing operates one of the world's largest IP networks, connecting more than 300 cities in 28 countries worldwide, and delivers services to more than 600 cities in 60 countries and six continents around the globe. "Infinera's solution enables us to deliver new services quickly and economically, as well as respond to the present and developing needs of our customers as they cope with the challenges of industry consolidation and IP convergence," says Jim Watts, Global Crossing's vice president of global transport engineering. "The differentiated design and configuration of our network make us a market leader in IP services, and the Infinera DTN plays an important role in our competitive edge." The Infinera DTN is the first optical system designed to combine scalable DWDM, re-configurable optical switching, and GMPLS-based service intelligence in a single platform. With the industry's first large-scale photonic integrated circuits, the Infinera system delivers 100 Gigabits per second of DWDM capacity on every line card.
