Across the spectrum of services delivered by the GÉANT project and the European Research and Education networking community, the skills and technologies provided by commercial partners play a key role in helping us all deliver high performance, secure, reliable and cost-effective services to our users.
The GÉANT Partnership Programme brings together these organisations not just for TNC but throughout the year to take part in TaskForces, Special Interest Groups and providing training and awareness on new and emerging products and technologies to help us all. It provides a forum for collaboration, innovation and knowledge-sharing to foster the development of Internet technology and associated services for research and education.
TNC could not happen without the support of the members of the GÉANT Partnership Programme and we would like to thank all the partners here at TNC23 in Tirana for their generous contributions to this event.
If you would like to arrange meetings with the partners at TNC this year then please get in touch with them below.
Infinera
Meet the Infinera team at TNC23 from Tuesday 6th June to Thursday 8th June. Infinera is a leading provider of optical networking solutions and a long-term provider to GEANT and many others in the NREN community. In 2023 Infinera is changing the game in optical networking with a new range of intelligent coherent pluggable optics for use in transport networks, or directly in third-party devices such as routers. This range brings both industry-leading performance in point-to-point applications, as demonstrated in the Arelion network, and advanced functionality including many embedded virtual-transponder functions and a revolutionary point-to-multipoint architecture.
Meet the Infinera team at TNC23 to learn more about this new technology and how it can help you address the challenges you face in optimising your network for the traffic demands you face today and in the future as your network scales. We have people from sales, technical marketing and business development on site in Tirana. Contact Barbara Biadati to arrange a meeting.
