JUNE 24, 2008 -- Infinera (search for Infinera) says that Cox Northern Virginia (search for Cox) has deployed an Infinera Digital Optical Network for its metropolitan network.
Cox's Northern Virginia metro network is linked to the company's 12,000-mile long-haul Infinera Digital Optical Network that extends from coast to coast, enabling Cox to deliver voice, video, and data to all of its markets.
"Consumers are demanding more services from their providers in an increasingly competitive environment. The Infinera network enables us to be fast, flexible, and highly responsive to our customers," said Cox Northern Virginia Vice President of Network Operations Darryl Ladd.
The Infinera Digital Optical Network gives Cox the ability to deliver voice, video, and data service in its core metro network. Infinera's Bandwidth Virtualization architecture enables a variety of data rates and protocols, from 155 Mbits/sec up to 10 and 40 Gbits/sec, and Ethernet and SONET, to be delivered over the same optical infrastructure with little or no optical re-engineering, according to the equipment vendor.
The Infinera system also offers integrated switching and optical transport and a digital multicast capability to accommodate large or shifting demands for video-on-demand and television services.
