Customer deployments were strong and we shipped a record number of 100G ports.
“The economic value proposition offered by Infinera-s photonic integration and long-haul 500G super-channels has generated significant interest among potential customers. As a result, our new business pipeline is extremely active and we are pursuing global opportunities in a wide variety of markets.
“We are increasingly confident in our outlook for Infinera. We exited the first quarter with an increased backlog and a robust pipeline of potential new business, positioning us well for 2013.”
