SAN JOSE, Calif. – Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN), a global supplier of innovative networking solutions, has been chosen by GARR, Italy's research and education network, to upgrade its infrastructure with the GX Series ICE6 800G coherent solution. This enhancement is expected to double the capacity of GARR's new optical network, GARR-T, extending its reach to Sardinia.

The implementation of Infinera's technology will strengthen GARR's optical backbone, enabling high-speed collaboration among academic and research institutions both within Italy and internationally. The expansion, funded by the EU Recovery Fund project TeRABIT, aims to establish a high-performance integrated computing and network infrastructure for Italy's scientific community.

The connection to Sardinia is set to provide additional access for institutions part of the Italian National Center for Research in High-Performance Computing, Big Data, and Quantum (NASDAQ:QMCO) Computing (ICSC). The new Sardinia connectivity will offer rapid data transmission and improved redundancy and reliability, which are crucial for the scientific sector.

Infinera's high-performance and open optical technology will allow for a wide range of spectrum management, ensuring seamless integration between GARR-T's terrestrial network and Sardinia's optical infrastructure. GARR CTO Massimo Carboni expressed that this is an essential phase of GARR-T's expansion, set to be completed by 2025, aiming to provide up to 400 Gbps connectivity across Italy.

Nick Walden, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Infinera, noted the company's pleasure in collaborating with GARR and leveraging Infinera's solutions to enhance connectivity services for Italy's research and education community.

Infinera emphasizes that this press release contains forward-looking statements about the operational and performance benefits of its GX Series ICE6 800G coherent solution, and actual results may vary due to various risks and uncertainties.

The upgrade is part of a broader effort to bolster Italy's research infrastructure and facilitate advanced scientific collaboration, with the expansion set to be completed within the next year. This initiative is based on a press release statement from Infinera Corporation.
