San Jose, Calif. June 17, 2024’ In a significant stride for the advancement of 5G mobile infrastructure, leading optical networking company Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN), in collaboration with DZS and Calnex, announced a successful demonstration of 5G mobile broadband xHaul. This breakthrough was achieved using coherent open XR optics point-to-multipoint optical transmission, conducted at the European Open Test & Integration Center in Torino, Italy.
The demonstration highlights the potential for substantial simplification and cost reductions in 5G and next-generation mobile transport network rollouts, achieved by reducing the number of required optical transceivers. This multi-vendor interoperability testing marks a pivotal step in enabling mobile operators to significantly lower their total cost of ownership, which is critical for the widespread deployment of 5G networks.
Infinera’s Chief Technology Officer, Drew Perkins, emphasized the importance of this achievement, stating, The successful demonstration with DZS and Calnex showcases the critical role that open XR optics can play in revolutionizing mobile transport networks. As we continue to innovate and collaborate, we look forward to leading the industry towards more scalable and cost-effective solutions.
Despite this technological milestone, Infinera faces challenging financial performance. The company reported a revenue decrease of 21.84% year-on-year for the first quarter of 2024, in stark contrast to the 2.67% revenue increase among most of its INFN This decline places Infinera’s market share at 0.77% for Q1 2024, down from 1.13% in the previous quarter.
