GARR selects Infinera ’ s GX series to double capacity of Italy ’ s research and education network
This expansion is funded by the EU Recovery Fund project TeRABIT , whose aim is to complete a high-performance integrated computing and network infrastructure for the scientific community in Italy .
Once in production , this connection to Sardinia will also provide additional access for institutions involved in the Italian National Center for Research in High-Performance Computing , Big Data and Quantum Computing ( ICSC ).
Infinera has announced that GARR , the Italian research and education network , has selected Infinera ’ s GX Series ICE6 800G coherent solution to double the capacity of GARR ’ s new optical infrastructure , GARR-T .
As part of this project , GARR ’ s expanded network will now extend to Sardinia .
The deployment of Infinera ’ s solution across GARR ’ s terrestrial network as well as over the submarine cable system operated by Sparkle strengthens GARR ’ s highperformance optical backbone , facilitating high-speed collaboration between research institutions and universities at the national and international level .
“ Infinera ’ s high-performance and open optical technology gives our community the ability to freely manage a range of spectrum rather than single optical signals , creating a seamless integration between GARR-T ’ s terrestrial network and the optical infrastructure on Sardinia . This is a critical first step of GARR-T ’ s expansion , which will be completed by 2025 and will provide up to 400 Gbps connectivity all over the Italian territory ,” said Massimo Carboni , GARR CTO .
