Nokia has revealed its acquisition of Infinera, a California-based provider of optical transport networking solutions, for $2.3 billion. This strategic move aims to bolster Nokia’s presence in the North American optical networking market.
Infinera has achieved a significant milestone in advancing 5G mobile broadband technology through successful multi-vendor interoperability testing of its XR optics. The testing, conducted in collaboration with DZS and Calnex at the European Open Test & Integration Center in Torino by TIM, marks a pivotal step towards simplifying and cost-reducing 5G network deployments.
