"Successful completion of this 100 GbE demo is an important milestone forus as we evaluate technologies and services for the future since ourcustomers' bandwidth needs are increasing and GAL is willing to lead themarket in offering the most advanced services with the greatest speed,reliability, and security," said Mr. Koichi Katagiri, Deputy ManagingDirector, GAL Engineering Division.

GAL owns and operates a network linking Japan's major cities and cablelanding points on the Japanese coast and provides telecom services to otherservice providers, enterprises, Internet service providers, cablecompanies, and academic institutions. Last year, GAL deployed an InfineraDigital Optical Network. GAL selected Infinera for the speed, flexibility,and scalability of the Infinera system. "Today's customers demand moreservices and more bandwidth more quickly than ever before, and the Infinerasystem, with its revolutionary photonic integrated circuits, enables GAL tomeet those demands quickly and flexibly," said Mr. Katagiri.

"We are extremely excited to partner with Infinera for the GAL 100GbE demoin Japan," commented Mr. Manabu Nitta, Group Leader of Product ManagementGroup1, Marketing Division, Service Providers Business Unit, NisshoElectronics, a partner of Infinera. "The ability of Infinera's BandwidthVirtualization architecture to deliver any service, from 1 Gigabit to 100GbE, over today's network infrastructure is very attractive for carriersaiming to develop new capabilities and optical services to meet the growingneed for bandwidth. The end result will be the delivery of practical,cost-effective, and widely deployable 100 GbE solutions to the market."

"We are very pleased to conclude this 100 Gigabit Ethernet demonstration,an important milestone for Japan," said Infinera CEO Jagdeep Singh. "GAL isa pioneering force in the industry and our collaboration shows thatInfinera's digital paradigm is winning growing traction in the Asianmarket."

The Infinera DTN is a Digital ROADM for long-haul and metro core networks,combining high-capacity DWDM transport, integrated digital bandwidthmanagement, and GMPLS-powered service intelligence in a single platform.
