Infinera and Siae Microelettronica announced completion of end-to-end, SDN-enabled service orchestration across integrated IP/MPLS transport and microwave/millimeter-wave transport domains.
Conducted in collaboration with a leading Tier 1 mobile operator, this proof of concept trial showcased the ability of network operators to simplify and automate multi-domain, multi-vendor operations as mobile networks evolve to support new high-capacity, latency-sensitive 5G services.
The trial featured seamless interworking of the Siae Microelettronica SM-DC microwave domain controller, Infinera IP domain controller, Siae Microelettronica AGS20 Layer3 microwave platform, Infinera Transcend Orchestrator, and Infinera 8600 Smart Router Series IP/MPLS platforms. Leveraging open, standards-based application programming interfaces, the integrated IP/MPLS and microwave transport solution provided a multi-domain, multi-vendor framework for a wide variety of SDN-enabled service creation and traffic management use cases.
