Infinera Russia will focus on marketing, sales operations and work closely with local partners to expand the company\u2019s manufacturing presence and capabilities in the region. The new entity has been created to support telecom carriers and service providers in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as Infinera increases its activities globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">Recently, RETN, a leading Russian wholesale telecom carrier and Infinera customer since 2008, upgraded its pan-European optical network with the latest generation of the Infinera Line System (ILS). RETN specializes in connectivity within Russia and between major international traffic exchange points. Since 2002, RETN has dynamically expanded, upgrading capacity and increasing the number of Points of Presence (POPs). Today, RETN\u2019s network is one of the largest in Russia, with a network, extending from Moscow to London, north and south, and directly connected to more than 800 international and domestic carriers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"spip\">\u201cRussian carriers see the value of Infinera\u2019s unique technology based on photonic integration,\u201d said Alexey Popov, General Director for Infinera Russia. \u201cLaunching this new entity in Moscow reaffirms our commitment to the region and to customers like RETN. We also believe that it will better enable carriers in this country to benefit from an Infinera Digital Optical Network.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"spip\">In 2008, RETN deployed Infinera\u2019s DTN for its ease of use and ability to turn up services quickly. This enabled RETN to increase total network capacity and provide its customers with a broad range of services including IP, MPLS, SDH and managed wavelength services. Today, RETN\u2019s network has been upgraded with Infinera\u2019s next generation line system, which supports ultra-long-haul reach, optical express, and future multi-Terabit scalability. Along with Infinera\u2019s PIC-based line modules, the expanded capabilities of the ILS offers a highly efficient hybrid EDFA\/Raman amplification capability that will allow RETN in the future to scale to 8.0Tb\/s per fiber, and to deploy 40G and 100G wavelength \u2013 all without the need for additional upgrade of optical fibers and amplifiers. Infinera\u2019s ILS upgrade to RETN\u2019s network covers a route of more than 17,000 kilometers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"spip\">\u201cWe are proud of our network and pleased with our upgrade with Infinera\u2019s ILS,\u201d said Dmitry Samarin, RETN\u2019s CEO. \u201cThe ILS has allowed us to double the wavelength density of our competitors with greater simplicity and ease of use. The convenience of having local sales and support teams in Moscow is an added bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"spip\">Infinera\u2019s ILS packs up to 160 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) channels into the C-band, increases optical reach beyond 2,500 km and enables future capacity upgrades up to 8 Tb\/s of fiber capacity, supporting capacity growth and flexible deployment of services from 1GbE to 100GbE.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"spip\"><strong class=\"spip\">About RETN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">The RETN telecommunications data transmission network was founded in 2002. The network\u2019s development and operation are carried out by the group of companies with the following geographical distribution of liabilities: JSC \u201cRetnNet\u201d in Russia, TOV \u201cRetn\u201d in Ukraine and RETN Ltd. in Europe, USA and Asia. The headquarter and control centre of the network are situated in Moscow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\"><strong class=\"spip\">About Infinera<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">Infinera specializes in Digital Optical Networking systems that are designed to continually improve the economics of optical networking by combining the speed of optics with the simplicity of digital. Infinera is unique in its use of breakthrough semiconductor technology: Large Scale Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC). Infinera\u2019s systems leverage PIC technology to provide customers with a service-ready architecture that enables faster time-to-revenue and greater profitability through network efficiency and the ability to rapidly deliver differentiated services without reengineering their optical infrastructure.
