Liberty Global deploys Metro 100G from Transmode
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - 21(st) April 2015 - Transmode, a global supplier of packet
optical networking solutions, today announced that Liberty Global, the world's
largest international cable company, has started to roll out 100G deployments
across Europe using Transmode's TM-Series platform. The new metro and regional
100G deployments are designed to handle the increased capacity needed to support
increased network traffic across the group's activities.
Liberty Global is the world's largest international cable company with
operations across Europe and is currently enjoying great success with high speed
residential and business services. This in turn is driving considerable network
traffic growth within Liberty Global's markets. The success of the company is
leading to an expanded customer base and higher average bandwidth per customer,
with Liberty Global offering some of the highest speed services available in
these markets.
To address this demand, Liberty Global is rolling out Metro 100G in its existing
metro and regional networks. Initial 100G deployments started in Q4 2014 and
have continued in Q1 2015 with further deployments planned. Liberty Global chose
to deploy Transmode's pluggable-optics-based Metro 100G solution not only
because it was the most economical solution for high-speed connectivity, but
also because it also used the existing rack space and enables low power usage.
Jan Lindgren, Liberty Global's VP Network Engineering, commented, "The Metro
100G solution from Transmode has been simple to deploy and easy to use by our
engineers in both metro and regional deployments. We are now able to achieve the
high-speed connectivity and the flexibility we needed for our internal capacity.
Transmode is a trusted supplier, and has proven to be reliable in the markets we
have deployed its technology."
He continued, "The Metro 100G solution has been deployed in our existing racks
with a small footprint and has kept power usage to a minimum. While we continue
to securely move critical traffic in high density areas, we have taken this next
step to Metro 100G to ensure we are able to support the ever-growing service
bandwidth demands from our customers."
Mark Burton, Transmode's Vice President Europe, commented, "We are delighted
that Liberty Global has started to deploy our 100G solution in multiple networks
across Europe. Our innovative technology in the metro and regional 100G area is
proving very popular with our customer base. In addition, in this case, it is
the continued working relationship between our sales teams in each country and
the Liberty Global networking teams that has been at the heart of this success.
We look forward to extending this relationship and to seeing Liberty Global's
continued success."
