Founded in 2000 and employing approximately 3,460 individuals, the company manufactures Wavelength division multiplexing-based packet optical transmission equipment and IP transport technologies, primarily for the telecommunications service provider market, with a focus on fibre access.

Nokia touted significant total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction with its new line of coherent optical solutions on March 19, 2026, establishing a new growth target for data center interconnect following its integration of Infinera. This came after Nokia executives stated on March 17, 2026, at OFC that the $2.3 billion Infinera takeover was paying off, announcing a "building-block" approach to optical engine development designed to break the industry's one-size-fits-all product logic. Earlier, on March 13, 2026, Infinera Corp stock (US45667G1031) traded near $6.64 with analysts maintaining a Hold rating as the company navigated a pivotal transition phase following Nokia's acquisition. On March 12, 2026, the stock remained in a transitional phase as integration progressed, with European investors monitoring implications for optical networking supply chains. In February, Infinera, now a Nokia-owned chipmaker, purchased its office and research building in south San Jose for $27 million on February 19, 2026, where Nokia and Infinera had established a plant to manufacture Infinera’s optical chips.
Infinera's customers primarily consist of telecoms companies. Examples of Infinera's customers include Sparkle, NBN and Orange Group. Infinera has commercial and technical partners like FiBrasil, Titan ICT and Orange Group.
