Infinera and Telstra announced the upgrade of multiple ultra-long haul submarine cable routes, optimising capacity and providing scalability and reliability on key routes of Telstra's network. The Infinera Intelligent Transport Network will enable Telstra to quickly deploy 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet and OTN services on: Telstra Endeavour -- a 9,124 kilometre submarine cable connecting Sydney and Hawaii; Telstra's Designated Fibre Pair on the Asia America Gateway (AAG) submarine cable connecting Hawaii and California; and Reach North Asia Loop (RNAL), which spans 9,000 kilometres to connect Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The Infinera DTN-X is designed to scale without compromise to enable future upgrades to terabit super-channels and Terabit Ethernet.

The DTN-X converges five Terabits of non-blocking OTN switching into the same platform, resulting in more efficient network utilisation when compared to conventional WDM architectures. Intelligent software combined with this converged platform automates manual operations to lower operational costs and enable faster service delivery.
