Infinera's XTM II platform expands the XTM Series into cloud-scale metro networks and is optimized to transport the ever-increasing amount of capacity required to support bandwidth-intensive applications including 4G and future 5G mobility, over-the-top services like video and virtual/augmented reality and the Internet of Things (IoT).

As new fiber-deep access architectures such as Remote PHY are being built to support these trends, they will require high-capacity, low-latency transport in metro networks, coupled with the ability to support increasingly dynamic traffic flows. Infinera says it created the XTM II platform to specifically address that need.
