Technology Partnership Addresses Soaring Bandwidth Demand Across South Africa
Johannesburg, South Africa. September 8, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking today
announced that it has been selected as the technology partner of FibreCo
Telecommunications, enabling the fiber network operator to roll out high-
bandwidth services across South Africa. FibreCo, one of the country's leading
communication service providers, will harness ADVA Optical Networking's FSP
3000 metro and long-haul technology to offer tailor-made connectivity services
to its business, government and carrier customers. The initial deployment
involves a 100Gbit/s ROADM network carrying data over 780km between Johannesburg
and the undersea cable landing station at Mtunzini. ADVA Optical Networking's
Elite partner Jasco Carrier Solutions will play a key role in the deployment and
continuous support of the new network.
"This strategic partnership provides a firm foundation for the future as we help
even more South African businesses unleash their full potential. With ADVA
Optical Networking's flexible platform, we can respond in the shortest possible
time to each and every customer demand," said Marius Mostert, CTO, FibreCo. "The
ADVA FSP 3000, including its advanced ROADM technology, enables us to deliver
the high-speed, scalable connectivity that today's enterprises and service
providers demand. Our new infrastructure delivers several key efficiencies from
low latency to optimized bandwidth utilization. What's more, the support and
local expertise provided by ADVA Optical Networking and Jasco Carrier Solutions
gives us a lot of confidence that we'll achieve quick time to market and the
highest network availability."
FibreCo chose to expand its existing infrastructure in response to rapid growth
in bandwidth demand. With ADVA Optical Networking as a key partner, it will
ensure tailored bandwidth-intensive broadband services for high-priority
business applications across South Africa. Incorporating the latest multi-degree
ROADM technology, the ADVA FSP 3000 is the ideal platform for flexible transport
services. FibreCo's new infrastructure will carry both 10 and 100Gbit/s traffic
and include long-haul links that require no regeneration. The modular design of
the ADVA FSP 3000 also ensures that the network is primed and ready for further
expansion so that FibreCo can easily upgrade its clients' services whenever
their requirements change. FibreCo's future network expansion plans will see
100Gbit/s metro and long-haul links connecting other cities and regions across
South Africa.
"To be selected as FibreCo's strategic partner is an honor for every member of
our team. It highlights the benefits of our flexible, scalable solution and
underlines the value of the local support we offer. With this new network, we're
expanding our leading market position in South Africa," commented Günter
Landers, sales director, Africa, ADVA Optical Networking. "Our metro and long-
haul solutions enable FibreCo to meet increasingly challenging business
expectations. Our advanced ROADM technology ensures streamlined and efficient
operations. It also creates a dynamic architecture so that FibreCo can instantly
respond to changing and growing demands. It's clear that FibreCo is embarking on
an exciting journey. We're proud to be supporting them every step of the way."
"As an ADVA Optical Networking Elite partner, we at Jasco Carrier Solutions have
a large pool of ADVA-certified engineers in South Africa, providing FibreCo with
the assurance of a technically astute and highly qualified team. Our skills and
expertise ensure a smooth and speedy deployment as well as first-class ongoing
support," said Martin Ferreira, executive head, Jasco Carrier Solutions. "Nearly
a decade of experience with ADVA Optical Networking rollouts makes us the ideal
company to supply and install the new technology. Our engineers will also
provide support in conjunction with ADVA Optical Networking and will ensure
sufficient stockholding of equipment at their national offices. Furthermore,
Jasco Carrier Solutions has invested in an ADVA Optical Networking lab and test
bed that will assist significantly with fault-finding processes."
