Transmode extends Fiberail's network capabilities with 100G-ready packet-optical network
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Stockholm, Sweden - 16(th) December 2014 - Transmode,
a global supplier of packet optical networking solutions, and local partner Nera
Networks today announced that Fiberail, a regional carrier's carrier, has
upgraded its backbone network to a packet-optical 100G-ready network for the
provision of high capacity links across Malaysia.
Fiberail's new 100G optical network, is an international network that provides
multiple high-capacity communications to Tier 1 and Tier 2 service providers in
Malaysia. The Transmode solution increases Fiberail's capacity and service
offerings substantially, especially in the northern half of Malaysia.
At the heart of the solution deployed by Fiberail is Transmode's recently-
announced, EMXP 220 IIe, a packet-optical transport switch. This both provides
10G and 100G ports and a central 220G switch giving wire-speed switching. For
Fiberail the EMXP 220 provides 10G networking today and a future 100G upgrade
via the simple addition of 100G CFP pluggable optics. By combing the best of the
optical and Ethernet worlds, it enables the carrier to turn on MEF Carrier
Ethernet 2.0 services as well as, MPLS-TP and OTN transport ensuring high
service performance and scalability.
Fiberail needed to expand capacity on its fibre network and cost-effectively
increase the flexibility of service provision to its customers. The new 100G-
ready network gives Fiberail not only the flexibility and scalability required
to provide multiple high-speed services, it also delivers the robustness and
redundancy needed to manage and protect these services. With this network,
Fiberail is able to serve a broad range of customers effectively and efficiently
now and in the future.
One of the advantages the new network has is that it includes Ethernet Ring
Protection Version 2 (ERPv2) providing a very robust and scalable Ethernet
network. Additionally it supports both Layer 1 and Layer 2 packet optical
applications. The network also uniquely provides end-to-end Ethernet service
provisioning across the Transmode network and third party layer 1 optical
equipment via so called "alien wavelengths" to other parts of Fiberail's
network.
The new network was provided by Transmode to Fiberail through a local partner
Nera Networks, a regional systems integrator. Nera services clients such as
Malaysia's banks, utility companies and telecom service providers. It
specializes in transmission networks, satellite communications and network
infrastructure.
Mark Stevens, Transmode's Vice President Asia-Pacific, commented, "We are
delighted to be working with Nera Networks to announce that Fiberail, as a long
standing customer, continues to invest in its network and has upgraded its
network with Transmode's latest 100G packet-optical technology. This deployment
is an excellent example of how Transmode is helping our customers to cost-
effectively grow their businesses."
