TOKYO -- Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today KDDI Corporation's (KDDI) selection of the Infinera DTN-X platform with Instant Bandwidth™ via its local partner Nissho Electronics to upgrade the Miyazaki – Okinawa Cable network in Japan. The upgrade will offer a robust network, providing multi-Terabit optical transmission to deliver 100 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) services across the country.
