BETTER YET, ITS ALL PLUG AND PLAY
The worlds first switched WDM system, the Infinera DTN combines the scalability
of multi-wavelength optical transport with the simplicity and efficiency of digital
switching to help network operators drive long-term sustainable profitability.
Why the Infnera DTN is Right for You
Unlike traditional optical networks, the Infnera DTN was designed
from the ground up for multi-dimensional effciency. By combining
the service effciency of multi-service platforms, network effciency of
a switching platform and operational effciency enabled by GMPLS
automation and large-scale photonic integrated circuits, the DTN
delivers what no other platform can, while conserving power and
space. In short, we believe its the single most effcient transport
platform on the planet today.
The Infnera DTN
Designed for effciency The Infnera DTN automates service delivery
for services ranging from 155 Mb/s to 100 Gb/s, with the ability to
optimize the network at every node using integrated 2.5 Gb/s (ODU1)
granularity digital switching and grooming. In addition, the network
and its services are managed with carrier-class feature set, including
full digital performance monitoring, integrated digital service protec-
tion and point-and-click, end-to-end service provisioning. Infnera
goes one step further to improve service effciency using a technique
we call Bandwidth Virtualization

, which ensures that any service at

any node can use any available bandwidth on the network side on
demand. Further, DTN operates with the Infnera Line System (ILS),
which supports up to 160 C-band wavelengths on a single fber, for
up to 6.4 Tb/s fber with 40G waves, or 400 Gb/s (40 channels, 10
Gb/s each) in a half-rack. DTN is available in both 19-inch (MTC)
and 23-inch (DTC) wide chassis confgurations. It can also support
multi-chassis confgurations across several racks to create a multi-
fber direction, multi-Terabit transport system thats managed as a
single network element.
Photonic Integration
Enabling Intelligent Transport Networks Based on Infneras Photonic
Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology, the Infnera DTN switched WDM
system provides full digital access to the optical layer, which simpli-
fes the network dramatically while offering the ultimate in network
fexibility. With PIC technology, the DTN makes it possible to rapidly

scale any network backbone, deliver more services to more customers
and simplify operations while reducing the cost of the network. PIC
technology dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of optical-
electronic-optical (O-E-O) conversion, and allows service providers
to deploy highly scalable transport services much more quickly than
is possible with traditional DWDM or ROADM systems. DTN also
integrates seamlessly with Infneras ATN metro edge platform, pro-
viding a highly effcient, end-to-end optical transport solution from
metro edge to waters edge.
The Infnera DTN platforms use of pluggable tributary adapter
modules allows high-density digital add/drop of multiple services.
Fast, Simple and Proftable
The Infnera DTN employs pluggable 100 Gb/s line cards, called
Digital Line Modules (DLMs), which facilitate rapid automated turn-up
of DWDM capacity, 100 Gb/s at a time. The DLM provides full reti-
ming, reshaping, regeneration, and recoding services for each optical
wavelength. It also provides integrated sub-wavelength grooming
and switching capabilities for unconstrained and reconfgurable add/
drop and express traffc through the node. The DLM also isolates all
analog impairments from adjacent spans to eliminate wavelength
blocking and simplify network planning. Together, these capabilities
help provide more fexibility and manageability than other DWDM
platforms or ROADM systems.
DWDM wavelengths from each DLM are multiplexed onto the line-
side fber via the Band Multiplexing Module (BMM). The BMM opti-
cally multiplexes up to 160 wavelengths from the DLMs, along with
an Optical Supervisory Channel. This allows all optical multiplexing
to be performed on a single card, offering signifcant density advan-
tages versus conventional systems.
Fully Reconfgurable Add/Drop
The Infnera DTN supports in-service pluggable client-side circuit
packs called Tributary Adapter Modules (TAMs) that are separate
from the line-side DWDM optics, enabling mix-and-match and fully
fexible add/drop capabilities of client interfaces at any digital site.
The native client interfaces are encapsulated in a digital wrapper
before being groomed or switched by the system.
The DLM supports TAMs with client service interfaces including
SONET, SDH, OTN, Ethernet, Video and SAN services with full
transparency for any speed from 155 Mb/s to 100 Gb/s. Tributary
Adapter Modules feature programmable optical interfaces, so one
TAM can support multiple services, eliminating the need for service
specifc sparing.
The DTN also features a built-in Digital ROADMa ROADM that
uses an electronic switch fabric rather than optical components for
its reconfgurability. Because the DTNs ROADM capability is digital,
it can provide bit-transparent services with rich digital performance
monitoring, without the complexity of expensive components and
a jungle of patch cables. More importantly, as a Digital ROADM
with 2.5 Gb/s bandwidth management granulrity, the DTN fexibly
manages sub-wavelength, wavelength, or even super-wavelength
services. Unlike conventional ROADMs or WSS-based all-optical
systems, the DTN eliminates the need for muxponders or Multiser-
vice Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs) to manage 1 Gb/s and 2.5 Gb/s
circuits. Its digital architecture also eliminates the need for back-to-
back transponders for wavelength translation.
Carrier-Class Reliability and Availability
Improving network reliability is a key motivation behind the develop-
ment of the Infnera DTN. Its photonic integrated circuits eliminate

up to 97% of the fber couplings in a system, a key source of failure
for discrete optical components. The system architecture of the In-
fnera DTN also contributes to its carrier-class availability through a
fully redundant control and management solution and full separation
of the control plane from the data plane. It supports other system
redundancy capabilities, including redundant power entry modules
and cooling fans.
The Infnera DTN also supports a highly available management plane
with support for redundant OSS-NE and EMS-NE communications
to ensure maximum access. A high-capacity in-band Optical Super-
visory Channel (OSC) facilitates in-band management and control
communications from a Gateway Network Element (GNE) to Sub-
tending Network Elements (SNEs). The DTN solution supports a
multi-chassis architecture that enables scalable nodal growth while
maintaining a simplifed and consolidated network management
view of the system as a whole.
The DTNs integrated switching enables service protection and res-
toration to maintain service availability in the face of fber cuts or
other network outages. Infnera offers 50-millisecond Digital SNCP
protection as well as dynamically signaled restoration for SONET/
SDH, wavelength and Ethernet-based services.
Simplify and Automate with GMPLS
Service providers seeking to reduce cost and complexity of operations
will appreciate the extensive automation capabilities incorporated
into the Infnera IQ

Network Operating System (IQ NOS), includ-

ing a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control
plane that dynamically automates network topology discovery and
enables end-to-end routing and provisioning. The IQ NOS also en-
ables true Ethernet-like plug-and-play capabilities for rapid system
and network turn-up and capacity expansions. The IQ NOS improves
network manageability with embedded digital maintenance, digital
performance monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities for rapid
fault isolation.
