Telia Carrier deploys Coriant 400G technology in European backbone to boost scalability
Telehouse, the carrier neutral data centre provider, has announced the availability of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect at its Paris data centre. AWS Direct Connect provides access to Amazon’s full suite of cloud computing services, like Simple Storage Service (S3), Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2), Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) and Relational Database Service (RDS). Using the AWS Direct Connect service, Telehouse customers can now access a dedicated 1Gb/s or 10Gb/s connection with data, previously transported over the Internet, delivered through a private network connection to the cloud, improving performance and security, whilst reducing cost and allowing for scalable bandwidth at peak business times. “The adoption of cloud computing is still growing rapidly, with spending on public cloud services alone predicted to increase to more than $141 billion in 2019, as more organisations seek to take advantage of the increased performance and reduced costs o ered by the cloud,” said Hiroyuki Soshi, Managing Director of Telehouse Europe.

Infinera has announced that it has joined the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) to help accelerate the pace of innovation in telecommunications infrastructure. Co-founded by Facebook and operators such as Deutsche Telekom and SK Telecom, TIP is an engineering-focused initiative driven by operators, infrastructure providers, “reimagine the traditional approach to building and deploying telecom network infrastructure,” the partners say. TIP is designed to bring together leading industry Telia Carrier, a global internet backbone provider, and Coriant, a supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end packet optical networking solutions, have announced the introduction of 400G-capable Coriant CloudWave Optics technology in Telia Carrier’s pan-European backbone network. The power-e cient coherent interface technology will enable Telia Carrier to double the capacity on its DWDM infrastructure, which is in part built upon Coriant’s hiT 7300 Multi-Haul Transport Platform. “As our customers in Europe experience increased demand for capacity to support their business-critical applications, we are committed to investing in best-in-class innovation to stay at the forefront of service excellence,” said Mattias Fridström, Chief Technology O cer, Telia Carrier. “The Coriant solution enables us to significantly improve utilisation of our existing DWDM infrastructure “The Coriant solution demonstrates the real- world value of optical layer programmability and fast service deployment.” and rapidly provision new services to meet our customers’ dynamic systems integrators, and other technology companies that aim to

for all three areas globally. Infinera Intelligent Transport Networks enable telecom network infrastructure to scale, while simplifying optical network operations and accelerating service innovation. “We are delighted to join TIP and look forward to collaborating with Facebook and other industry leaders to define the future of telecom networks,” said Ashoka Valia, Senior Vice President, Business Development at Infinera. “With this collaboration, Infinera’s leadership in technology innovation and large-scale photonic integration to play an even greater role in solving the future connectivity requirements of networks across the globe.” solution for cloud and data center networks that delivers 3.2 terabits of capacity throughput in a compact 1RU form factor. e ciency, and scalability to infrastructure networks facing unprecedented tra c growth. The technology is also a key enabler of the Coriant Groove G30 DCI Platform, an innovative stackable transport infrastructure,” said Tarcisio Ribeiro, Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Services, Coriant. “The Coriant solution demonstrates the real-world value of optical layer programmability and fast service deployment.” Coriant CloudWave Optics is a key photonic layer technology that combines a leading signal processing engine, optimised integrated photonics, and embedded software intelligence that brings a new level of optical performance,
innovators to collaborate to develop new technologies and rethink approaches to deploying network architecture that leverage advances in the technology and an open approach to development. TIP will explore new approaches and technologies across three initial focus areas: access, backhaul and core and management. The project groups within these areas will leverage the unique engineering and operation expertise of members. Infinera will contribute its expertise in developing and deploying innovative packet- optical technologies and solutions connectivity requirements.” The first implementation of Coriant CloudWave Optics in Telia Carrier’s hiT 7300-based pan-European backbone network will include a 400G-enabled fibre route between the cities of Copenhagen, Denmark and Frankfurt, Germany. With industry-leading optical link control and software programmable modulation capabilities, the Coriant solution will also enable Telia Carrier to maximise reach and performance throughout their wider network, including in challenging fibre routes such as subsea long haul transmission to London, a major Internet hub in the region. “We are pleased to extend our long-standing relationship with Telia Carrier and continue to deliver the technology innovation that allows them to unlock the full potential of their DWDM
