November 29, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Telecommunications provider Integra Telecom (integratelecom.com) announced on Wednesday it has selected Infinera (infinera.com) digital optical network to provide a new optical network for Integra’s long-haul network in the western US.
Portland, Oregon based Integra Telecom is one of the largest competitive carriers in the US, providing services to enterprises and carriers in eight western states. In July, Integra acquired Electric Lightwave to add ELI’s 4,700 route-mile long-haul network to Integra’s metropolitan area fiber networks spanning more than 2,200 route-miles.
Integra chose Infinera for its reliable digital architecture, enabling it to meet customer demand for fast-growing high-speed data services. Infinera’s digital architecture and circuits are designed to provide high reliability. Infinera offers 100Gbs of bandwidth on every line card, enabling service delivery for new wavelengths or new services within days.
“The Infinera solution enables Integra to reduce our service provisioning time dramatically while increasing the flexibility of our network through greater capabilities to switch and groom traffic into 10Gbs wavelengths,” says Dave Bennett, senior VP of network engineering of Integra Telecom. “We believe that the Infinera solution’s advanced performance monitoring will allow us to enhance our response time and increase our network reliability.”
