This will allow Freenet to maximize both service quality and network profitability by ensuring that its IP network can provide bandwidth without the costly pre-planning or operator intervention required by conventional optical networking systems, said an official release from Infinera.

The Infinera system uses digital technologies made possible by Infinera's Photonic Integrated Circuit technology which converts all traffic from optical to electronic signals, allowing the DTN to add and drop, multiplex, groom, and protect circuits digitally rather than optically.
