Core-Backbone is one of the fastest-growing German carriers, operating in Europe, Asia, and North America. With Infinera’s GX Series, Core-Backbone’s network can deliver capacity at 800G per wavelength, with the option to upgrade to 1.2T, significantly increasing capacity on the network at the lowest cost and lowest power per bit.

“We are excited to upgrade our network with Infinera’s innovative solutions and expand our service offerings. Infinera’s leading GX solution, similar to Infinera’s XTM platform currently in our network, was easy to install and deploy, eliminating lengthy set up times and avoiding any interruptions in service,” said Ulrich Koehler, Head of Network and IT-Operation, Core-Backbone. “With Infinera’s GX Series solution, our backbone network will be able to serve the growing needs of our customers with performance improvements and support 400G to 800G+ capacity for individual wavelengths to meet the growing demands for high-speed transmission today and in the future.”

“We are pleased to support Core-Backbone’s network upgrade and expansion plans, which support critical telecommunications, data centers, and financial services across the globe,” said Nick Walden, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Infinera. “Infinera’s GX Series coupled with the XTM Series will enable Core-Backbone to provide its customers with cost-effective, high-capacity, and highly available services.”
