Swedish Internet Exchange deploys WDM from Transmode
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - 17(th) March 2010 - The Swedish Internet Exchange (Netnod)
has significantly reduced customer costs by deploying an optical networking
solution from Transmode, a leading provider of Optical Networking Solutions.
ISPs in Sweden are able to interconnect securely via Netnod as it provides the
National Internet Exchange-points across the country. The five exchange points
are housed in underground bunkers in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Sundsvall, Luleå and
Malmö. These bunkers were originally built by the Swedish Government to house
critical telecommunications infrastructure. Netnod has deployed the Transmode
TM-Series
capacity and reliability but mainly to reduce its costs.
"Not only have we significantly reduced the number of fibers we connect to, as
well as our costs, but we have also been able to significantly increase the
capacity of the network. The Transmode installation has directly led to an
increase in the number of our ISP customers," said Netnod's CEO Kurt-Erik
Lindqvist.
"Having decided we needed a WDM solution, we sent an RFP to seven
telecommunications vendors, and after an exhaustive selection process we chose
the Transmode TM-Series," added Lindqvist. "Only two companies could meet our
specification due to our particular network requirements. We selected Transmode
on price and the ability to meet our delivery times."
"This Netnod installation is yet another example of how Transmode's WDM
solutions are enabling national Internet exchanges to improve their performance
- both in terms of capacity and value for money," commented Björn Andersson,
Transmode's VP Sales. "We have already implemented similar successful
installations in London's LINX and Dublin's INEX Internet exchanges."
