2. REN Worldwide
And so we have created a world wide web of fiber connections.
This map is a vastly simplified view of the subsea connections around the world.
And over the land we find individual service providers creating terrestrial fiber routes that interconnect major towns and cities.
Here’s the Level(3) network in North America.
The Interoute network spanning Europe.
And the Virgin Media within the UK. You’ll find similar fiber infrastructure in all of the countries of the world, sometimes stretching right out to individual homes.

3. Transmission Requirements in NREN
High Capacity
Big amounts of data to be transferred: CERN, Radio Telescopes, Virtual Reality, HD environments, Genomic Data, …
You need the data right now!
No matter how big the need is, you can not wait for months.
Immediacy
Geoff covers the Capacity and Reach topics, then hands over to Eric to talk about Operational Scalability.
Research and Education are changing environments.
Where will the next amount of data be?
How big will it be?
Flexibility

4. Scaling Capacity: How do we make the pipe bigger?
Per-Wavelength Options
Increase the Baud rate
of the electronics
It’s happening, but slower than we would like
Higher order modulation – QPSK → 16QAM → 64QAM
It works really well, but has a dramatic impact on LH reach – OK for metro or DCI
Geoff
Implement multiple, parallel wavelengths per linecard
Coherent Super-Channels
The preferred LH market option

5. What is a “super-channel”? The optical analogy of the multi-core CPU
Unlike conventional transponder solution…
Multiple coherent carriers
Implemented on one appliance/card
Seen as a single unit of capacity
Brought in service in 1 operational cycle
Using 1 fiber pair
Enabling pre-deployed, SW defined capacity via Instant BW
Super-Channel
Single Fiber

160 transponders, 160 fibers
Infinera Super-Channels
32 Line Modules, 32 Fibers
On August 13th, 2013 a team from Infinera and DANTE established an official Guinness World Record for the fastest provisioning of multi-terabit capacity on a long haul network.
CLICK
The link was part of the GEANT backbone, operated by DANTE, and it runs between Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Hamburg in Germany.
We achieved 8Tb/s of super-channel capacity turned up in just over 19 minutes, and with only one engineer touching the equipment.
Just to be clear. This was not a hero experiment. It used production equipment, over a real network link and amp chain. And the scale of the capacity is the equivalent to the entire global internet in 2005.
A key point to this record attempt is that it is a clear proof point for Infinera’s Intelligent Transport Network architecture, and showcases our ability to drive down network OpEx and allow our customers to use Time as a Weapon.
Here’s a simple summary of why that’s the case. In a conventional 100G, transponder-based deployment a service provider would need to deploy 160 transponders, and connect 160 fibers into the line system to achieve 8Tb/s of capacity. It could be done…but goodness knows how long it would take. Depending on the exact system used it might take a considerable amount of time to balance the power of the amplifiers along the link.
But with the Infinera Super-Channel approach we only needed 32 line modules – 16 at each end of the link, and only 32 cables connecting those line modules to the line system. All the amplifier power balancing was performed automatically by protocols within the Infinera equipment.
That kind of operational scalability is unique to the Infinera solution because we are the only company shipping super-channels today.
