Sunnyvale, Calif. and Boston \u2013 Oct. 20, 2020, 8:00 a.m. ET<\/strong> \u2013 Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) and Seaborn Networks (Seaborn), a leading developer-owner-operator of submarine fiber optic cable systems<\/a>, announced today the launch of new submarine network services on Seaborn\u2019s AMX-1 submarine network segment connecting the U.S. and Brazil. Powered by Infinera\u2019s XT Series submarine network<\/a> platforms, featuring Infinera\u2019s Infinite Capacity Engine (ICE) technology, Seaborn\u2019s new network boasts modernized architecture and industry-leading spectral efficiency, enabling the company to optically bypass cable landing stations and reduce network costs.<\/p>\n

The global economy relies heavily on uninterrupted data connectivity, which is fueled by increasing bandwidth demand and bandwidth-intensive applications such as cloud-based services. To address global bandwidth needs across the Americas, Seaborn operates two leading cable systems, Seabras-1 and AMX-1, both powered by Infinera solutions. Seaborn\u2019s\u00a0AMX-1 cable system<\/a> provides transport, Ethernet private line, and IP services on a geographically diverse path from its Seabras-1 cable, connecting Rio de Janeiro and Jacksonville, Florida, to offer its customers high-capacity, low-latency connectivity services.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur longstanding relationship with Infinera and this collaboration have enabled us to cost-efficiently address our customers\u2019 growing capacity demands with reliable, low-latency solutions purpose-built for subsea transport,\u201d<\/em> said Paul Cannon, Vice President of Engineering & Operations at Seaborn. \u201cKey factors in Seaborn\u2019s selection of Infinera\u2019s solutions are its history of consistently delivering industry-leading optical engines and the roadmap for its ICE6 800G generation technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to partner with Seaborn to provide submarine network services enabling the company to operate a resilient, high-capacity network,\u201d<\/em> said Nick Walden, Senior Vice President, Sales at Infinera. \u201cInfinera\u2019s optical engines consistently demonstrate proven benefits in subsea applications, delivering superior spectral efficiency while significantly lowering network costs. With Infinera\u2019s optical engine, Seaborn has the network capacity needed today and can seamlessly upgrade its network in the future to Infinera\u2019s ICE6 800G generation coherent technology with ease as bandwidth demands dictate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
