Telemach invests in high-capacity Flexible Optical Network from Transmode
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - 24(th) September 2013 - Transmode, a global supplier of
packet-optical networking solutions, today announced that it has supplied
Telemach in Slovenia with a new high capacity optical network running from
Ljubljana to Maribor and Vienna in Austria. The new network replaces an existing
core/access infrastructure with a flexible and scalable solution that will
significantly reduce operating costs and long term service overheads.
Telemach, based in the capital Ljubljana, is Slovenia's leading provider of
cable TV, telephony and broadband internet services. The company is part of the
United Group, which operates a number of different telcos in the Adriatic
region. Today, the United Group's companies provide a multitude of
communications and entertainment services to more than 1.65 million residential
and business users. Transmode is now the primary optical networking provider to
the whole of the United Group. The new network links Ljubljana with other major
centres Maribor and Celje in Slovenia, and forms part of an international link
to Graz and Vienna in Austria.
Telemach's Chief Executive Officer, Marko ?ter, commented, "We wanted to both
increase the capacity of our network and improve the ability to provision and
deliver successful and innovative services to our customers. We chose Transmode
because its team understood our needs and design requirements and they have
provided us with quality and simplicity in this WDM solution. The new network
provides us with a technological advantage and means we are able to offer our
customers the best possible service experience."
The new 80 channel optical network was built in parallel to Telemach's previous
optical network in order to ensure a quick and smooth switchover of customer
services. Telemach needed to quickly decommission the old network in a
controlled manner to switch over to Transmode's ROADM based Flexible Optical
Network solution, which is provided by the widely-deployed TM-Series platform.
Besides providing a cost-effective replacement, the Transmode installation is
significantly more energy-efficient than Telemach's previous network and will
make future upgrades easy to perform. The network started carrying live traffic
on August 27(th), less than one month after the installation commenced.
Mark Burton, Vice President Europe for Transmode, commented, "We are delighted
to have won this major network business with Telemach in Slovenia. It
exemplifies our continued success in Eastern Europe and ROADM-equipped Flexible
Optical Networks."
Transmode provided the installation, training and testing of the network in
advance of the deployment which has made the switch over as easy as possible.
The network provides 10Gb Ethernet services that can scale to 100Gb when needed.
One of the key factors in Telemach's selection process of Transmode's solution
was that it enables a Layer 1 protected service which when coupled with
Enlighten, Transmode's multi-layer management suite, facilitates faster
provisioning of backhaul capacity and new wholesale services.
