Infinera XT-500 Meshponder Platform
Designed to power cloud scale networks
The DTN-X XTS Series is designed to power cloud scale networks for subsea operators. Similar to the XT Series, the XTS Series combines 2.4T super-channels with sliceable photonics and is designed to support inflight line-rate Layer 1 encryption (encryption software license required for activation) in a compact and lower-power form factor. In addition, the XTS Series features subsea-optimized modulation formats such as matrix-enhanced phase shift keying (ME-PSK) and 3QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), as well as Infinera’s Advanced Coherent Toolkit featuring the industry’s first commercially-available Nyquist subcarriers to enhance capacity-reach performance.
The XT-500 delivers a 500 gigabit per second (500G) super-channel output with 10 GbE or 100 GbE clients in 2RU of rack space with low power consumption. Additional features include:
- Multi-terabit super-channels:
enabling massive network scale up to 2.4 terabits per second (2.4T) per super-channel on a single platform provisioned in one operational motion. - Sliceable photonics:
tune and route any wavelength as small as 100 gigabits per second (100G) within a super-channel, or N x 100G super-channels in multiple separate directions, each with its own coherent modulation profile. - Infinera Advanced Coherent Toolkit:
featuring breakthrough technology innovations such as Nyquist subcarriers and soft-decision forward error correction (SD-FEC) gain sharing, delivering up to 60% more capacity-reach performance for submarine and terrestrial network. - Multi-terabit encryption:
designed to support in-flight Layer 1 wirespeed encryption (encryption software license required for activation), which can be enabled per service or in bulk mode using hardware-specific, strong 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key and integrating hitless key exchange and cryptographic mechanisms. - Instant Bandwidth:
the ability to activate only a portion of the super-channel and then to activate additional wavelengths (combined with sliceability) on demand, as additional capacity is needed.
DTN-X Family Overview
The Infinera DTN-X Family is a family of next-generation multi-terabit transport network platforms and is highly scalable and is simple to install, operate and troubleshoot. Services can be quickly and easily provisioned and transported over a common WDM layer.
