The Infinera DTN-X platform enables Midcontinent to deliver capacity with 100 gigabit per second (Gb/s) coherent transmission using 500 Gb/s super-channels, with a forward-scale design to support in-service migration to terabit super-channels in the future.

The high-capacity super-channels are enabled by 500 Gb/s photonic integrated circuits (PICs) developed and fabricated by Infinera – the only supplier delivering 500 Gb/s of transmission capacity from a single line card, a statement said.

"As we enhanced our network, we once again selected Infinera because we had already realized the benefits from our existing Intelligent Transport Network with the DTN platform," said Jon Pederson, Vice-President of Technology at Midcontinent Communications.

"The DTN-X was easy to install. It took our team only three weeks to deploy services, allowing Midcontinent to offer services quickly to customers."

"We are pleased that Midcontinent is extending the benefits of the Infinera Intelligent Transport Network as the company expands," said Gaylord Hart, Director of Marketing, MSO market at Infinera. "The DTN-X platform offers cable operators the benefits of scalability, ease of use and superb reliability."
