Infinera and Lumentum Collaborate to Bring XR Optics-based Networking Solutions to Market
February 18 2020 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) and Lumentum Holdings Inc. (Lumentum), a
market-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative optical and
photonic products, today announced a collaboration to bring to
market XR optics-based networking solutions. XR optics enables
radically more efficient and cost-effective solutions to address
the transport networking challenges operators face in delivering
new 5G, enhanced broadband, and cloud-based business services.
Featuring the industry’s first point-to-multipoint coherent optical
aggregation technology, XR optics is designed to disrupt optical
networking economics by enabling new transport architectures.
XR optics is powered by Infinera’s innovative low-power DSP
technology, which leverages routable Nyquist subcarriers to enable
a single high-speed transceiver to simultaneously send and receive
independent data streams to/from numerous low-speed transceivers.
Lumentum brings a history of successful coherent module development
and manufacturing expertise to help realize XR optics-based
solutions. The partnership will result in the introduction of a
family of easily deployable, pluggable XR optics offerings
applicable across a wide variety of market applications.
“We are delighted to partner with Lumentum to introduce this
revolutionary point-to-multipoint solution designed to help network
operators benefit from unprecedented savings,” said Dr. Dave Welch,
Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Infinera. “Lumentum has been
an important team player, recognizing the value of XR optics and
committed to bringing this innovative solution to market.”
“Collaborating with Infinera leverages our deep experience in
high-speed coherent components and pluggable modules to bring an
innovative solution like XR optics to market,” said Beck Mason,
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Lumentum’s Telecom
Transmission Business. “The XR optics concept aligns with our core
strategy to provide scalable and flexible coherent optical network
solutions that enable higher speeds for next-generation transport
networks.”
