Infinera GX Series – Open, Modular Optical Transport
Bringing technology full circle
The Infinera GX Series is a next-generation open optical transport platform that delivers scalable, programmable, and energy-efficient connectivity for metro, regional, and long-haul networks.
Designed for modularity and flexibility, the GX Series combines coherent optics, open architecture, and automation to meet the growing capacity and sustainability demands of modern networks.
At PICS Telecom, we supply and support both refurbished and new Infinera GX systems, helping operators modernise responsibly, extend hardware lifecycles, and reduce environmental impact through circular economy practices.
Understanding the Infinera GX Series
The Infinera GX Series builds on Infinera’s experience in optical innovation — bringing together compact design, modular scalability, and open interfaces for seamless integration into any multi-vendor environment.
Key platforms include:
- GX G30 Compact Modular Platform: Ideal for metro and regional aggregation, offering flexible capacity scaling and open APIs for network automation.
- GX G42 Scalable Transport System: High-capacity platform designed for long-haul and data centre interconnect (DCI), supporting 100G–800G line rates.
- GX Compact Modular Family: Optimised for open, disaggregated network architectures, combining flexibility and simplicity with low total cost of ownership.
Together, these systems provide operators with a future-ready, energy-efficient optical foundation that supports open networking and rapid capacity growth.
Performance and Scalability
The Infinera GX Series is built for superior scalability, operational simplicity, and performance:
- 100G to 800G line rates per wavelength with Infinera’s coherent optical engines.
- Flex-grid support for optimal spectral efficiency.
- Compact modular architecture for flexible deployment and incremental scaling.
- Open APIs and automation for integration into software-defined and disaggregated environments.
With high capacity per rack unit and optimised power consumption, the GX Series helps operators deliver sustainable high-speed connectivity while lowering operating costs.
