Infinera announced on March 6 that next generation multi-haul optical line system (OLS) functionality on the GX Series compact modular networking platform is now commercially.

Ron Johnson, SVP and general manager of optical subsystems and global engineering at Infinera, said in a press release, “The release of our next generation GX OLS capabilities represents the completion of our multi-year journey to converge our edge-to-core networking capabilities onto a single platform. The GX was purpose-built to provide network operators with a single platform that can be used to support virtually any application in their network, enable pay-as-you-grow economics, and seamlessly support multi-generational embedded and pluggable optics.”

Infinera reports that the GX OLS solution features a broad set of multi-haul OLS functionalities, including carrier-grade features and support for Super C- and Super-L bands.

The OLS solution will be included as part of Infinera’s live product demonstrations at OFC 2024.
