Infinera and American Tower recently announced the successful completion of the first point-to-multipoint coherent optical transmission in a carrier network environment in Latin America.
This field trial was conducted with Infinera’s XR optics technology over American Tower’s Passive Optical Network (PON) network in Colombia. The trial demonstrated XR optics’ compatibility with existing Gigabit PON (GPON) traffic over a single-fiber PON deployment in a metro regional area.
