Coriant was a telecommunications equipment company that was merged into Infinera in October 2018 .
It sold hardware and software components for optical transmission in the core network ( backbone ) of voice, data and cellular networks, mainly with the product lines hiT 7300 for optical density wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) over fiber optic cables, hiT 7100 for the electrical interconnection of optical paths and hiT 70xx for " multi service provisioning ". For the management and planning of optical network components are TNMS ( english telecommunication network management system ) and Transnet / TransConnect (network planning) are offered.

History and techniques
Coriant comes from the transmission technology division (ÜT, as it was called in the 1990s) of Siemens AG, which was located in Munich. At this time the transition from PDH to Sonet / SDH took place on the hierarchy levels STM-4 / STM-16 (2.5 Gbit / s). In the late 1990s and early 2000s, DWDM came on, which allowed even higher transmission rates (in the range of terabits per second ). This technology is also called Optical Transport Network (OTN), in which multiplex and encapsulation hierarchies are defined in a group of standards.
