Infinera, also known as Infinera Corporation, is a publicly owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 2000 and employing approximately 3,460 individuals, the company manufactures Wavelength division multiplexing-based packet optical transmission equipment and IP transport technologies, primarily for the telecommunications service provider market, with a focus on fibre access. Its networking solutions enable enterprises, governments, carriers, and cloud operators to scale network bandwidth, accelerate service innovation, and automate network operations.
Nokia's optical networks division delivered a 20% revenue increase, contributing to a solid start for the vendor as of April 22, 2026. On March 22, Nokia unveiled new coherent optical solutions at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC), promising up to a 70% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) to address increasing bandwidth demands driven by AI developments. This followed an announcement at the same conference on March 17, where Nokia executives confirmed the company's $2.3 billion takeover of Infinera was proving successful, introducing a "building-block" approach to optical engine development designed to break the industry's traditional one-size-fits-all product logic. The company specifically highlighted its post-Infinera integration focus on data center interconnects for these new optical offerings, which aim for significant TCO reduction. Previously, on March 13, Infinera Corp stock traded near $6.64 as Nokia continued its integration efforts, with analysts maintaining a "Hold" rating on the NASDAQ-listed provider of optical transport networking equipment.
Infinera's customers primarily consist of telecoms and enterprise and telecoms software companies. Examples of Infinera's customers include NBN, Sparkle and Orange Group. Infinera has commercial and technical partners like Titan ICT, FiBrasil and Orange Group.
