MBC Increases Capacity with Infinera Network

Optical networking system provider Infinera announced on Wednesday that the Mid-Atlantic Broadband Cooperative has increased the backbone capacity of the Southside Virginia regional backbone network, with supplementary financial support from the Virginia Tobacco Commission and development to its Infinera regional network.

Ensuring that MBC will competently accommodate the requirements of major telecom carriers and service providers that require access to new data centers in the Southside Virginia region, the addition of the Infinera DTN system to MBC’s regional network increased the network’s operational capacity tenfold to 100Gbps, says the company.

Jagdeep Singh, CEO of Infinera stated “Infinera’s bandwidth virtualization, based on large-scale photonic integration, has enabled MBC to put in place a regional network that can flexibly and cost-effectively support the wholesale connectivity needs of carriers, business, local community, and government sector customers all on the same infrastructure. I’m thrilled to see the Infinera solution playing a role in helping MBC bring advanced services and economic growth to Southside Virginia.”

Last week, Equinix selected Infinera for its metro networks connecting its Internet Business Exchange centers in key cities across North America and Asia.
