Transmode wins national optical network contract from Teracom in Sweden
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm - 17(th) August 2010 - Transmode, a leading supplier of optical
networking solutions, today announced that it has been awarded a major contract
by Teracom to supply network infrastructure for a high capacity optical ring in
Sweden. The network will carry HDTV and other valued-added services.
Teracom, a longstanding customer, of Transmode, distributes radio and TV to
households nationwide for its broadcast customers. Teracom required the network
to cope with an enormous increase in traffic due to the extra number of HDTV
channels and growth in other value-added services. The new optical ring provides
transmission between Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenberg and other major centres. It
supports 2.5G and 10G transmission end-to-end today and 40/100G in the future.
The network will complement Teracom's existing, mainly microwave based,
infrastructure.
"After a competitive bid, we chose to award the contract to Transmode for three
reasons: modularity, flexibility and total cost," said Peo Gaasvik, CTO at
Teracom. "By simple "plug and play" additions we have the possibility of
upgrading the network at any time to add new functionality. We are also very
pleased with the level of support we have had from Transmode over the years," he
continued.
By supplying a 40-channel DWDM network with pluggable optics throughout,
Transmode has enabled Teracom to easily change the configuration of wavelengths
and transmission control at will. Teracom is deploying Transmode's TM-Series
optical networking solution in its new high capacity network to ensure delivery
and reliability of multiple services to its customers. The operator can add or
reconfigure new services for its customers with ease.
"We are delighted to have been selected by Teracom for this new network rollout.
Their continued trust in our equipment and solutions is built on an already
strong working relationship," said Björn Andersson, Vice President of Sales at
Transmode. "We have once again demonstrated that Transmode's TM-Series delivers
a winning solution in terms of easily managed building blocks for multiple
service types. The flexibility of Transmode's systems enables customers to
configure networks that are tailor made to their specific needs."
