"Infinera has enabled us to operate a powerful, scalable, highly reliable optical network that is quick to upgrade and easy to manage," said SDN CEO Mark Shlanta. "The Infinera ATN was the natural choice to extend all those benefits to the edge of our network." "We are pleased to support SDN's broadband stimulus project with an Infinera ATN network," said Infinera CEO Tom Fallon. "Infinera's capital and operational benefits make it an excellent choice for broadband networks in the U.S. and worldwide." The Infinera family of optical solutions includes the Infinera DTN, the first optical system based on large-scale photonic integrated circuits, and the Infinera ATN, a compact metro edge platform that extends the benefits of Infinera's Digital Optical Networks to the metro edge.
