2013
Within achievement of a world record of Infinera and DANTE could activate in 2013 the capacity of a longhaul optical network at the level of 8 Tbit / with that there are enough for simultaneous transfer 1.6 million movies as HD in both directions. This capacity was activated on GÉANT network in 19 minutes and one second after inclusion of the first line card. Achievement of a record became possible thanks to architecture of an intelligent transport network from Infinera on the basis of the DTN-X platform – the only thing in the industry of the solution using commercial superlong distance communication channels of FlexCoherent capacity of 500 Gbps based on optical integrated circuits on 500 Gbps.
