Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., in collaboration with Infinera, demonstrated1 a point-to-multipoint connection service over a ROADM2 network using our under-development metro/aggregation Ethernet switch 'FTU9100' and Infinera's 'ICE-X Coherent Communication Transceiver,3 ' which is controlled by FTU9100, for the first time in Japan at Interop Tokyo 2024 held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba from June 12 to 14.

Sumitomo Electric and Infinera Japan were awarded the 'Grand Prize' in the 'ShowNet Contributor category4' of the Best of Show Award, which recognizes the 'top product of the year.'

We have been honored to receive this award for showing 'Interoperability,' which is the origin and theme of the exhibition name Interop, as well as for proposing the future of flexible optical networks using one-to-many connectivity, which is essential for realizing All Photonics Network,5 low-cost and more extensive optical networks.

The Company continues to work to develop cutting-edge technologies through innovation that combines internal and external technologies and products to realize higher capacity, lower latency, and lower power consumption in optical network systems, including IOWN, and continue to pave the way for a more fulfilling future society.

FTU9100 will also be exhibited at our booth at the 'Cable Tech Show 2024' to be held at the Tokyo International Forum from July 18 to 19.
