Case Study: RETN achieves greater network capacity and service agility with Infinera XT Series

RETN Scales Network Capacity and Increases Service Agility with Infinera XT Series

RETN, an international network service provider with a 42,000-kilometer backbone across 36 countries, needed to scale its network to multiple Tb/s per site, improve service agility, and control CapEx and OpEx in a highly competitive market. To meet unpredictable demand and support next-generation services, RETN turned to Infinera and its XT Series optical platforms.

Infinera implemented XT-3300 and XT-3600 meshponders, FlexILS open line system technology, and Instant Bandwidth software-defined capacity to deliver a more flexible, future-proof network. RETN more than tripled its network capacity, accelerated service turn-up from weeks to minutes without truck rolls, reduced operating and capital costs, maximized ROI on existing assets, and broadened its addressable market with faster time to market.
