Item 8.01

Other Events.

At meetings with investors this week, executives of Infinera Corporation (the “Company”) will discuss the following developments:

(a)

The Company will indicate that it began shipping its metro-edge platform products in late August and it has four customer wins. In addition, the Company intends to introduce this new product at the Supercomm 2009 Trade Show in Chicago in October, 2009.

(b)

The Company expects to deliver its next-generation (10 x 40Gb/s) 400Gb PIC to its system developers by the end of this year. The development cycle for the Company’s next-generation 40 Gb/s-based DTN system may or may not mirror that of its current 10 Gb/s-based DTN system, which has been shipping since 2004. However as a potential guideline for future product development at 40Gb/s and beyond, the Company will indicate that with its current DTN system, it took between 12 and 24 months to make the DTN system available at customers’ sites after the (10 x 10Gb/s) 100Gb PIC was delivered to Infinera’s systems developers.

(c)

The Company will note that Telefonica SA, one of the world’s top five telecommunications service providers, has purchased the DTN System from the Company. The DTN Product purchased by Telefonica is being used in submarine and terrestrial applications and has been shipped, deployed and is carrying live traffic.
