Fujitsu 1FINITY T900 Series Transponder honored by 2024 ISE Network Innovators’ Awards

August 22, 2024

The Fujitsu 1FINITY™ T900 Series Transponder has been distinguished among the best in the telecommunications industry by the 2024 ISE Network Innovators’ Awards. A panel of expert judges awarded Fujitsu with an outstanding Gold honoree status based on excellence in originality, innovation, cost-effectiveness and customer benefits.

The next-generation Fujitsu 1FINITY T900 Series Transponder delivers extreme performance, automation and sustainable liquid cooling for true hyper-reliable terabit networking, achieving 1.2 terabits per second (Tbps) on a single wavelength with future upgrade to 1.6 Tbps and beyond. With more wavelengths per fiber and more bits per wavelength, this optical transport platform enables extended reach, enhanced wavelength and optimized fiber capacity for seamless scaling at a lower cost/ per bit/ per kilometer. In addition to the latest optical technologies, the 1FINITY platform incorporates automation enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for zero-touch turn-up and optimization of end-to-end service delivery.

“Today’s service providers face continual pressure to improve sustainability while cutting costs, as they deal with increased thermal loading in an ever-smaller footprint,” said Rod Naphan, senior vice president and head of the photonics systems business unit at Fujitsu. “The 1FINITY T900 Series Transponder is the only available optical transponder to incorporate closed-loop liquid cooling, enabling sustainability while offering operation up to 150 GBaud for the ideal balance of cost, reach and capacity with simplified operation. The ISE Network Innovators’ Award demonstrates why globally recognized network operators have selected the Fujitsu 1FINITY T900 solution for state-of-the-art optical networks.”

“On behalf of the ISE Network Innovators’ Awards, I would like to congratulate Fujitsu on achieving a well-deserved Gold honoree status,” said Joe Gillard, ISE Magazine's executive editor. “This competitive program enables ISE Magazine to showcase and applaud the most innovative products, projects, technologies and programs that significantly impact the industry.”
