Infinera XTC-2E Platform
Extending the DTN-X Family to Lower-bandwidth networks
Infinera provides Intelligent Transport Networks that accelerate service delivery and simplify optical network operations at Layer T. Intelligent Transport Networks include the award winning DTN-X Family, integrating wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) with packet-optical switching. Infinera is expanding the DTN-X Family with the introduction of two new platforms in the XTC Series — the XTC-2 and XTC-2E.
The Infinera DTN-X XTC-2 and XTC-2E are purpose-built for extending the DTN-X experience from the long-haul to lower-capacity metro and regional networks. The XTC-2 and XTC-2E offer a smaller form factor with lower bandwidth compared to the widely deployed XTC-4 and XTC-10 platforms. The XTC-2 and XTC-2E support a wide range of client-side interface speeds from 155 megabits per second to 100G, including traditional Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)/Sychronous Optical Networking (SONET), Ethernet/packet, storage area network (SAN), Fiber Channel and video. The XTC-2E also integrates optical and electrical line system modules into a single chassis, supporting reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs), line amplifiers, 100G WDM modules and client service modules in a single 15 rack unit chassis.
The XTC-2 and XTC-2E integrate with the Infinera Xceed Software Suite, an open, purpose-built, multi-layer software-defined networking (SDN) platform with revenue-ready applications that enables a high degree of abstraction and virtualization of the underlying optical network. The Infinera XTC-2 and XTC-2E extend the acclaimed DTN-X experience to lower-bandwidth metro and regional networks with 100G. Other features include:
- XTC-2E: 12RU, 15RU, 24 interface slots, six open optical line system slots, 1.2T (2.4T future) capacity
- Multi-terabit super-channels
- Sliceable photonics
- Infinera Advanced Coherent Toolkit
- Multi-terabit encryption
- Instant Bandwidth
Right-sized For Metro and Regional Networks
As part of the Infinera DTN-X Family, the XTC-2 and XTC-2E platforms offer network operators a rich set of client services for lower-bandwidth sites, common in intra-city and metro networks, and provide a lower power and space profile for these applications.
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.
