COMLINK deploys its first 100G services with Transmode
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metro Connect USA 2015, Miami, Florida and Stockholm, Sweden - 27 January 2015 -
Transmode, a global supplier of packet optical networking solutions, today
announced that US regional carrier COMLINK has started deploying 100G Managed
services using Transmode's TM-Series platform. The first application for the new
service was to provide high capacity connectivity for a large service provider
customer and uses Transmode's Metro/Regional 100G solution running over
COMLINK's existing fiber network and existing optical infrastructure.
COMLINK is a leading supplier of cloud services and has a major regional network
with thousands of miles of fiber deployed through Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin. In November 2014 COMLINK needed to rapidly increase the
capacity of a significant section of its network to 100G. After considering
multiple options, COMLINK chose to deploy Transmode's innovative pluggable-
optics based 100G solution because it not only met the stringent reliability and
scalability requirements but it could also be delivered both quickly and cost-
effectively.
A critical issue, which was a significant factor in Transmode winning the
contract, was Transmode's ability to rapidly deliver, install and commission the
new equipment by the end of 2014 in order to meet the rapidly-growing needs of
COMLINK's large service provider client.
The new network, which was deployed with less than a month between initial
discussions and commissioning, uses Transmode's TM-Series to run 100G as an
alien wavelength over the existing 10G ROADM network supplied by an incumbent
vendor. The 100G solution fully interworks with the existing network and simply
requires hardware at the end points of the new service.
John Summersett, COMLINK's Chief Operating Officer, said, "Bringing new services
to our customers and increasing customer service are always top priorities for
us at COMLINK. This new 100G managed service using Transmode's 100G solution has
enabled us to achieve this within a very short period of time and very cost
effectively. The solution was simple to bring up and has worked extremely well
with our existing network infrastructure. We are now able to offer 100G
connectivity services to our most bandwidth intensive customers between any
points in our network."
Björn Andersson, Transmode's Vice President Americas, commented, "We are
delighted to be announcing COMLINK as a new customer in the US. Designing and
building this network demonstrates not only the quality of our 100G solution but
also its ability to interoperate with 3(rd) party networks. The project also
demonstrated the responsiveness of our whole team, which has gone the extra mile
to deliver this network within a very short timescale."
