Infinera Corporation

Infinera was founded for the sole purpose of bringing the advantages of digital networking to the optical layer. And node by node, network by network, continent by continent, the company is doing precisely that.

The Infinera Digital Optical Network is the first switched WDM system, utilizing breakthrough Photonic Integration Circuits to provide unrivaled flexibility, capacity, and manageability. It is raising standards on a technical level, and lowering barriers from an economic perspective.

Infinera aims to provide the world's most economically compelling optical networks. The company'spatented Photonic Integrated Circuit, or PIC, combines dozens of optical components onto two tiny chips, each about the size of a child's fingernail. Lasers, modulators, wavelength multiplexers and demultiplexers, photodetectors—they are all there, in one incredibly fast, unbelievably efficient package.
