Infinera to Showcase Latest Products and Technologies at SC09

SUNNYVALE, CA, Nov 16, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
INFN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) will be showing new technologies and
products that continue to lead the optical networking industry at the
SC09 conference in Portland. As the first and only company producing
optical systems based on large-scale photonic integration, Infinera
offers the scalability and flexibility to meet exponentially growing
bandwidth demand from the Internet's power users like the research
and education community.

At the Infinera booth at SC09, conference attendees will be able to
see a pre-production 100 Gigabit Ethernet Module, designed to deliver
100GbE services in today's Infinera DTN and over today's network
infrastructure. Also at SC09, Infinera will show its new metro edge
platform, the Infinera ATN, which extends the benefits of Infinera's
Digital Optical Networks architecture across the network, from the
core to the metro edge.

Infinera continues to lead the industry in the race to 100 Gigabit
Ethernet. At this year's SC09, Infinera is participating in a joint
demonstration with Internet2, Level 3 Communications, and Juniper
Networks involving interoperation between the Infinera DTN and a
Juniper T1600 Series Core Router. Infinera's Bandwidth
Virtualization(TM) architecture is designed to provide the
flexibility and scalability to enable a wide range of services,
including potential future 100GbE services, to be delivered over
today's infrastructure. Infinera is working closely with others in
the industry to ensure a complete solution for 100GbE, working on
issues including industry standards as well as testing and network
deployment. Infinera's current generation of photonic integrated
circuits (PICs) put 100 Gb/s of capacity on every Infinera DTN line
card. Infinera's next-generation PICs, designed with capacity of 400
Gb/s on a pair of chips integrating more than 400 optical elements,
will enable a significant increase in the capacity and scalability of
optical networks.

"The Infinera vision enables seamless scalability of the optical
layer, with the application of photonic integration technology to
enable an ever-increasing pool of intelligent bandwidth," said
Infinera chief technology officer Drew Perkins."Our aim is to push
the frontiers of the technology forward, while at the same time
broadening our product portfolio so our technology can be applied in
more parts of the network."

SC09 takes place at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.
Visitors to the show are invited to stop by the booth #1444 to see
detailed information on Infinera products, technology, and the
company's vision of the future of the network.

The Infinera family of optical solutions includes the Infinera DTN,
the first optical system based on large-scale photonic integrated
circuits, and the Infinera ATN, a compact metro edge platform that
extends the benefits of Infinera's Digital Optical Networks to the
metro edge.
