Nokia's acquisition of Infinera received EU approval on an unspecified date for $2.3 billion. Network Infrastructure reported an 8% growth in the second quarter, with Fixed Networks showing 17% growth, Optical Networks 6%, and IP Networks 3%. Strong demand in Optical Networks and positive reception for the Infinera acquisition contributed to this growth, although supply constraints impacted the overall results. Infinera's CTO, Parthiban Kandappan, participated in a podcast discussion covering hyperscaler strategies, the Shannon limit, fiber development, and earthquake prediction in relation to telecom cables. In a separate podcast, Kandappan and Mattias Fridström discussed changes in optical networking, the impact of COVID-19, openness and disaggregation in the telecom industry, and IPoDWDM. Another podcast featured Infinera's CTO, Robert Maher, discussing quantum physics in optical networks, hollow-core fiber development, and power consumption optimization in AI data centers.
Infinera's customers primarily consist of telecoms companies. Examples of Infinera's customers include Orange Group, NBN and Sparkle. Infinera has commercial and technical partners like Orange Group, Titan ICT and FiBrasil.
