The TIP compliance award for the GX G42 platform, running the GX Series Converged OS, provides additional assurance that service providers can easily and seamlessly integrate, operationalize, and manage Infinera’s disaggregated transponder solutions while scaling optical infrastructure with best-in-class technology.
“Our ongoing collaboration within TIP reflects our unwavering commitment to open networking, and we are proud to be among the first vendors in the optical networking domain to be awarded a TIP Requirements Compliant Bronze Badge,” said Ron Johnson, General Manager, Optical Systems and Solutions Group at Infinera.
“The adoption of the MUST’s open and standard API requirements by players such as Infinera reflects the huge impact TIP is having to enable open and disaggregated networks,” said Hanson Tuang, Connectivity Technologies and Ecosystems Manager at Meta, and TIP OOPT Technical Lead. “We are excited about testing Infinera and other compliant MUST products, and we look forward to more compliant solutions getting listed on TIP Exchange soon.”
