ICE6 enables network

 

800G

Delivers industry-leading performance over any network and the lowest total cost of optical ownership. The sixth generation of Infinera's advanced coherent optical engines and subsystems, the Infinite Capacity Engine (ICE6), is a 1.6 Tb/s optical engine with two independently programmable wavelengths, each up to 800 Gb/s. ICE6 leverages 7nm CMOS process node DSP and advanced PIC technology to break performance and spectral efficiency barriers, including 800G single-wavelength performance over more than 1000 km in one commercial network, with ultra-high baud rates, high modem SNR, and innovative features. ICE6 exceeds optical expectations even at lower rates, including 600 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s per wavelength.

ICE6 enables network operators to meet the demand for rapid bandwidth growth by delivering the highest capacity over the longest reach. This results in a solution with the lowest cost, lowest power per bit and highest possible spectral efficiency. With instant bandwidth, ICE6 extends the ability of service providers to quickly add, move or retire transmission capacity when and where it is needed.

 

 

Increased Capacity Reach

Increased Capacity Reach - State-of-the-art maximum baud rates of 96 Gbaud for ICE6 and over 100 Gbaud for ICE6 Turbo enable industry-leading wavelength capacity reach across a wide range of wavelength speeds including 800 Gb/s to over 1000km, 600 Gb/s to over 3000km, 800g to over 7500km, and even longer distances for submarine networks.

 

 

Maximized Fiber Capacity

Achieve a spectral efficiency of 8.833 bit/s/Hz and a total C-band capacity of 42.4 Tb/s over 80 Tb/s over 80 G ... Key features that maximize spectral efficiency over long distances include minimized roll-off, shared wavelocker, probabilistic constellation shaping with long codewords (64QAM), dynamic bandwidth allocation, superchannels, and low overhead Ethernet framing modes.
