Infinera provides submarine solution to Kodiak Kenai Cable Company

Aug 17, 2011

A press release from Infinera reveals that KKCC, Kodiak Kenai Cable Company has deployed submarine solution from Infinera. KKCC will use Infinera solution for upgrading its 1000 kilometer long submarine fiber optic cable networks that exists in Alaska. Ease of use, speed of deployment and cutting edge technology makes the Infinera's DTN an attractive solution for Submarine Line Terminating Equipment (SLTE).

KKCC is a subsidiary of Old Harbor Native Corporation. The Kodiak Kenai Fiber Link (KKFL) is a submarine fiber optic telecommunications system connecting Kodiak Island and the Kenai Peninsula with Anchorage. Landing points are located at Anchorage, Kenai, Homer, Kodiak and the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation's (AADC) Launch Complex at Narrow Cape and Seward. The system minimizes exposure of the Turnagain Arm communication corridor to earthquakes, landslides or terrorist acts. It also connects schools, industry and commerce to the world with real-time broadband Internet. The benefits of this cable system over existing transmission media include greater reliability, secure transmission, more capacity and high-speed access, free of delay problems. Improved telecommunication delivery enhances economic opportunities throughout Alaska.

The fiber optic network runs from Seward down to Narrow Cape and back up to Anchorage serving ten percent of the population of Alaska.. KKFL provides access for broadband services to carriers, businesses, schools, and government institutions, including Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation and the nation's largest Coast Guard base on Kodiak Island. The improved telecommunications service with an Infinera network also enables KKCC to enhance economic and
educational opportunities and healthcare services throughout local communities served by KKCC in Alaska.

KKCC deployed Infinera's Submarine Solution, based on photonic integrated circuits, over a legacy undersea network including a repeaterless span of 377km. The current network will be able to scale to meet KKCC's bandwidth needs today and well into the future. The Infinera Submarine Solution can be customized to provide superior reach and optical performance. In addition, it offers space savings and the economic benefits of combining a subsea and a terrestrial system in one platform.

The Infinera DTN as SLTE provides a set of application-optimized features for upgrading submarine cable networks, including support for high-reliability trans-oceanic optical transmission, low-cost and low-latency full-band dispersion compensation optimized for greatly reduced size, integrated low-cost terrestrial backhaul and submarine network inter-connection, and undersea cable connectivity solutions optimized for operating over existing cable systems. Infinera Submarine Solutions have been deployed worldwide for customers for a total of more than 85,000 route-kilometers, including routes across the Atlantic, between North, Central, and South America, in the Middle East, and in the Indian Ocean.

Infinera specializes in Digital Optical Networking systems that are designed to continually improve the economics of optical networking by combining the speed of optics with the simplicity of digital. Infinera is unique in its use of large scale Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC). Infinera's systems leverage PIC technology to provide customers with a service-ready architecture that enables faster time-to-revenue and greater profitability through network efficiency and the ability to rapidly deliver differentiated services without reengineering their optical infrastructure.

Fiber Optics is Green!

Developed in the 1970s communication systems using optical fibers has revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have been played a leading role in the formation of New Technical Age. Fiber Optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber.

Fiber optics is the leading technology in the field of communication. Fiber has reached to the home finally by realizing the expectations for an unlimited bandwidth. Optical fibers still have unutilized potential for digital transmission. Learn fiber optics will give an edge and keep us updated with the technology. Watching demos, videos and reading more from internet is the cost effective option to learn about Optical fiber technology.
The fiber optic technology uses the light which forms an electromagnetic carrier wave. This will be modulated to carry information.. Optical fibers have clear advantages over other electrical transmission mediums. Optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world and have been making inroads to the developing countries as well.

The communication process using fiber optics involves the following steps: Creation of the optical signal using a transmitter, relaying the signal along the Optical fiber, make sure that the optical signals do not get weakened, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.Optical fibers are eco-friendly and Fiber optic technology is Green!
