FarEasTone selects Transmode for Taiwan Optical Metro Networks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - 1st December 2010 - Transmode, a leading supplier of optical
networking solutions, today announced that FarEasTone, Taiwan's largest Mobile
Service provider, has deployed a new TM-Series iWDM metro network in Taipei,
Taiwan.
FarEasTone has deployed Transmode's TM-Series Intelligent WDM (iWDMTM) optical
networking platform to enable the delivery of reliable, high-capacity transport
services in the capital of Taiwan, Taipei. The optical network infrastructure
will be used for fixed network traffic. The network operator had identified the
need to expand their existing infrastructure and sought a company whose products
were flexible, easy to implement and cost effective.
FarEasTone chose Transmode's TM-Series platform after rigorous testing where
flexibility and scalability were the key selection criterion. FarEasTone's
network team worked with Transmode and Opnet Technologies, a local specialist
Value Added Reseller, to roll out a cost effective, robust and scalable solution
initially across a six node point-to-point network.
"FarEasTone is delighted with the solution supplied by Transmode and Opnet,
which has improved our connectivity and service to our customers. The
implementation was swift and cost-effective. In addition we were able to easily
integrate the Transmode network management platform with our OSS and BSS
systems," said Richard Tseng, Manager of Network & Solution Planning Department,
FarEasTone Taiwan.
Cecilia Yang, Opnet's sales manager on the project, said "We are proud to have
worked with FarEasTone to provide them with Transmode's iWDM solution as it has
exceeded our customer's expectations from a technical as well as from a
financial point of view."
Bjorn Anderson, Transmode's VP Sales commented, "The growth rate and demand for
fixed and mobile broadband in Asia is tremendous. This installation is an
example of how Transmode's iWDM equipment can maximize the use of an existing
optical networking infrastructure to help an operator cost effectively increase
its service levels to meet these growing demands."
