SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today that Core-Backbone, a global network provider, deployed Infinera’s GX Series ICE6 800G coherent solution to upgrade and extend key network routes between Nuremburg and Munich, Nuremburg and Prague, and Hamburg and Düsseldorf, doubling network capacity on each network segment while reducing power consumption per bit.
