Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN) and Midco announced the deployment of Infinera's XTM Series for 100 Gbps (100G) optical transport to support metro aggregation services and to interconnect Midco's recently acquired data centers.
"As we upgraded our network with these new data centers, we once again selected Infinera to expand our Intelligent Transport Network," said Jon Pederson, chief technology officer at Midco. "The XTM Series was easy to install and we were able to use the Digital Network Administrator to control our Infinera end-to-end network from long-haul to metro with a single management system."
Midco upgraded its long-haul network last year with the Infinera DTN-X platform and has now extended its network into the metro with the Infinera XTM Series. The Infinera XTM Series enables Midco to support metro Ethernet services and to connect its data centers with 10 Gbps, 100 Gbps and Fibre Channel transport services.
Midco operates an 8,400 fiber-mile optical network delivering services to urban and rural areas. The Infinera XTM Series supports Midco business and residential customers in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
