FiberStore news, Infinera and DANTE recently said, they completed the installation, activation 2Tbps capacity in less than 12 minutes, and the supply of 100GbE services. Infinera and DANTE co-operate European GEANT research and education networks.

Infinera and DANTE production used DTN-X platform to deploy GEANT fiber backbone network between Amsterdam and Frankfurt. Currently in service 671 km route includes 10 spans. DANTE selected DTN-X platform for GEANT in 2012.

2Tbps capacity needs 4 500Gbps super Channel, through links providing 100GbE services, supply process delay videos.

Jeff Bennett, solution and technical director of Infinera, said: "This is a real test to our quick configuration ability, using real equipment and software. If we use the traditional 100G transponder, at 20 ends, we need a total of 40 100G transponders. But Infinera's 500G solutions, in an operation cycle, enable engineers to provide up to five times higher operating capability than the original. Greatly improve customers’ time efficiency is an important value to coherent super channel. "
