The DTN-X XT Series meshponders, powered by the Infinera Infinite Capacity Engine, meet the requirements of service providers requiring networks that are scalable and sliceable, integrated and disaggregated, and secure and open.  
The DTN-X XT Series meshponders, powered by the Infinera Infinite Capacity Engine, meet the requirements of service providers requiring networks that are scalable and sliceable, integrated and disaggregated, and secure and open. In addition, the meshponders support low power consumption and built-in security with in-flight wire-speed data encryption.

The DTN-X XT-3300 and XT-3600 are the industry's first meshponder platforms, which combine sliceable photonics and muxponder functionality to deliver hyper-scalability up to 2.4 Tbps along with fine-grained granularity for optical mesh networks. The server-like small form factor meshponders are in essence disaggregated platforms with best-in-class photonic technology but without integrated digital switching fabric/chassis.

Judge's comment: "Innovative use of PIC plus super-carrier technologies; support of broad set of client rate/protocol, interop with the larger-scale XTC family and Infinera line-system makes this product easy to deploy and scale as needed. Impressive space/power density and deployment ease."
