Infinera DTN & DTN-X Optical Transport Platforms

Bringing technology full circle

The Infinera DTN and DTN-X platforms deliver scalable, high-performance optical transport with industry-leading efficiency.

Built on Infinera’s Digital Optical Network architecture and powered by PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit) technology, these systems combine capacity, reliability, and automation to meet the ever-growing demands of modern networks.

At PICS Telecom, we supply and support both refurbished and new Infinera DTN and DTN-X systems, helping operators expand, modernise, or responsibly decommission optical infrastructure while reducing cost and environmental impact.

Understanding the Infinera DTN & DTN-X

The Infinera DTN and its successor, the DTN-X, are designed for long-haul, metro, and subsea optical transport, providing exceptional scalability and energy efficiency.

These platforms provide operators with a future-ready foundation for high-capacity optical networking, supporting both traditional and software-defined architectures.

Performance and Scalability

The Infinera DTN/DTN-X platforms are engineered for scale, efficiency, and operational simplicity:

Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Technology: Combines multiple optical functions into a single chip, dramatically reducing power and space requirements.
Instant Bandwidth Activation: Software-based capacity provisioning enables rapid service turn-up.
Multi-Terabit Scalability: Supports ultra-long-haul and regional backbone deployments with efficient spectrum utilisation.
Integrated OTN Switching: Simplifies network design and reduces operational complexity.

These capabilities make Infinera systems ideal for operators seeking to grow network capacity sustainably while maintaining superior performance.

Supporting the Circular Economy

Infinera’s DTN and DTN-X platforms align naturally with PICS Telecom’s circular economy mission — extending equipment life, reducing waste, and promoting responsible reuse.

Extended Lifecycle: Refurbished and re-certified systems maintain peak performance well beyond OEM depreciation cycles.
Energy Efficiency: PIC technology lowers power consumption, reducing both OpEx and carbon emissions.
Responsible Recycling: All end-of-life components processed under R2v3 and Zero Waste to Landfill standards.
Sustainable Supply Chain: Reuse of optical components minimises the demand for new manufacturing, supporting ESG objectives.

By sourcing Infinera hardware through PICS Telecom, operators achieve sustainability, compliance, and commercial value in equal measure.
