Supplier of innovative networking solutions, Infinera and II-VI Incorporated, a leader in optical communications modules, have collaborated to develop new networking solutions based on Infinera's XR optics technology. XR optics enables radically more efficient and cost-effective solutions for 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.
The XR optics technology is powered by Infinera’s innovative low-power digital signal processor (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. II-VI brings a wealth of industry-leading transceiver 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.
Infinera is receiving growing interest from its customers in XR optics, and collaborating with a leader like II-VI underscores the value of this innovation and their commitment to bring it to market with a broad-based coalition of top-tier suppliers. II-VI Incorporated is now looking forward to leveraging its highly integrated laser technology platform, coupled with its industry-leading optics and module expertise, together with Infinera’s coherent subcarrier aggregation DSP and transmission expertise, to achieve next-generation coherent transceiver solutions. This collaboration will enable the companies to jointly deliver digital coherent optics in small pluggable form-factors and with low power consumption.
