Co-founded by Facebook and operators such as Deutsche Telekom and SK Telecom, TIP is an engineering-focused initiative driven by operators, infrastructure providers, systems integrators, and other technology companies, aiming to reimagine the traditional approach to building and deploying telecom network infrastructure.
TIP brings together leading industry innovators to collaborate on developing new technologies and rethinking approaches to network architecture deployment, leveraging technological advancements and an open approach to development. TIP will explore new approaches and technologies across three initial focus areas: access, backhaul and core, and management. Project groups within these areas will leverage the unique engineering and operational expertise of the members. Infinera will contribute its expertise in developing and deploying innovative optical packet technologies and solutions across all three areas globally. Infinera's intelligent transport networks enable telecom network infrastructure to scale while simplifying optical network operations and accelerating service innovation.
“We are thrilled to join the TIP project and look forward to collaborating with Facebook and other industry leaders to define the future of telecommunications networks,” said Ashoka Valia, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Infinera. “With this collaboration, Infinera’s leadership in technological innovation and large-scale photonic integration will play an even greater role in addressing future network connectivity requirements worldwide.”
