Seamless Network Addresses South Africa's Phenomenal Bandwidth Boom
Johannesburg, South Africa. December 2, 2015. ADVA Optical Networking announced
today that Neotel has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 and Juniper PTX3000 to create a
flexible, dynamic and integrated packet optical network architecture. One of
South Africa's leading service providers, Neotel is using the multi-layer
network to respond to enormous bandwidth growth in fixed and mobile data
consumption and increasing migration to cloud services. Including ADVA Optical
Networking's ROADM technology and Juniper Networks' routers with tunable DWDM
interfaces, this network is the first in Africa to feature a unified multi-
layer, multi-vendor approach. It will enable Neotel to rapidly roll out new
services, increase availability and simplify network operations. The packet-
optical solution also marks a major step forward in lowering power consumption
and decreasing Neotel's physical footprint. The network was implemented by South
African integrator XON Systems, an Elite partner of both ADVA Optical Networking
and Juniper Networks.
"Our new network is our crucial technological advantage. From the home to the
enterprise to major data centers, we now have the power to precisely tailor
value-added services to fit individual customers' needs," said Dr. Marten
Scheffer, general manager, network engineering, Neotel. "The integration of the
packet and optical layer streamlines operations and reduces the steps needed to
configure new applications so time to market is massively reduced. Where it
could take hours to activate new services, we can now do it in seconds. It was
an easy decision to select our long-term partners ADVA Optical Networking and
Juniper Networks. We know from experience that their technology delivers on
flexibility, efficiency and reliability. But the deciding factors were the close
relationships we've built together and the level of expert support both teams
provide."
As well as creating the flexibility to easily and simply install new services,
one of the key benefits of the ADVA FSP 3000 and Juniper PTX3000 is the
improvement they bring to Neotel's overall network availability. This is
achieved through multi-layer resiliency and the leveraging of additional optical
restoration capabilities. The new system also decreases operational time and
effort thanks to its integrated network management solution. The small footprint
and low power consumption of the ADVA FSP 3000 has been optimized through the
use of tunable DWDM Juniper PTX3000 router interfaces. What's more, the new
technology is Neotel's first step towards an architecture based on software-
defined networking (SDN), which will further increase transport efficiency and
enable Neotel to offer a whole new range of applications in the future.
"What we've created here is a real first for the African continent, a genuine
milestone. With its unified packet and optical architecture, made possible by
the openness of our optical system, this network will make a huge difference to
many South African homes and businesses," commented Günter Landers, sales
director Africa, ADVA Optical Networking. "The ROADM technology not only adds
flexibility but also scalability in the optical layer. That's what enables
Neotel to focus on growing its business and maintaining high customer
satisfaction secure in the knowledge that its network performs efficiently and
supports future growth. With a streamlined, fully integrated multi-layer
transport solution, Neotel can now respond to customer demand in an instant and
even trial new services quickly, easily and without risk."
"Together with ADVA Optical Networking and Neotel we've achieved something quite
remarkable," said Adrian Pickering, vice president Middle East and Africa,
Juniper Networks. "For Neotel, the new network means having a real competitive
edge in a fierce market place. For its customers it means even more reliable,
fast and cost-efficient connectivity. The streamlined solution provides Neotel
with an incredible level of flexibility and automation. Its routers and optical
systems can be integrated into an SDN controller, with routing decisions based
on both packet and optical layer info. This enables efficient, application-
driven network configuration and supports innovative applications like
bandwidth-on-demand. It's the product of a lot of close collaboration by all
three teams. The commitment and effort have been inspiring but the result makes
it all worthwhile."
