Virgin Media selects Transmode as preferred supplier for Metro Optical WDM
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - 23(rd) February 2012 - Transmode, a global supplier of
packet optical networking solutions, today announced that Virgin Media has
selected Transmode to be the preferred supplier for its national next-generation
Metro Optical WDM deployments.
The new agreement for the supply of Metro Optical technology is the latest in a
series of major Transmode wins with Virgin Media in recent years. In September
2011, Transmode signed a multi-year contract with Virgin Media to supply
Ethernet-based mobile backhaul service delivery networks across the UK.
This new contract will see Transmode continuing to supply significant volumes of
its TM-Series, but will expand Transmode's current business with the UK-wide
deployment of the next-generation Flexible Optical Networking solutions
including Transmode's range of ROADMs with advanced Network Management. The new
agreement will see the deployment of Transmode's Layer 2 Ethernet Muxponders, as
included in the recently announced Mobile Backhaul contract.
Over the coming three years, the network enhancements will meet Virgin Media's
development objectives, including extending backhaul services and the wider
deployment of high speed connectivity services.
Dan Hennessy, executive director, Technical Strategy and Architecture at Virgin
Media commented, "Our advanced optical network is a vital part of the best-in-
class user experience for all of our customers, whether business or residential.
The new architecture delivers the scale required to accommodate growth and paves
the way for Virgin Media to offer intelligent next-generation solutions in the
connectivity space.
"Having carefully evaluated a range of suppliers to meet the needs of Virgin
Media's latest network enhancements, we have selected Transmode as it clearly
demonstrated its superior technical and economical advantages in next-generation
networks."
Mark Burton, Regional Sales Director for the UK and Ireland at Transmode, added,
"We are proud to have firmly established Transmode as a key strategic partner
with Virgin Media for the future. We continue to grow our business with this
significant customer and this latest win continues to reinforce the relationship
between the two companies. Transmode continues to develop products that
differentiate our customers' networks. Our ability to consistently deliver what
this customer needs is the key to Transmode's frequent repeat business with
Virgin Media."
