Surf Telecoms future-proofs its network with Transmode's optical networking equipment
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - 1(st) December, 2011 - Transmode, a global supplier of
packet-optical networking solutions, today announced that Surf Telecoms, a UK
telecommunications carrier, is deploying a new backbone infrastructure based on
Transmode's TM-Series Intelligent WDM (iWDM(TM)) optical platform. The
deployment will upgrade the carrier's existing capacity and extend its reach
from the South West across the UK.
Surf Telecoms' deployment of Transmode's optical networking systems began in
2011 and will be split into a two phase build. The project starts with an
upgrade of Surf's existing infrastructure in the South West and Wales. This is
followed by a new network across the Midlands which is required to support the
increasing demand and the predicted growth from new and existing customers
nationally. The design of the network includes the Multi Service Access Solution
that successfully combines E1 and Gigabit Ethernet enterprise services on the
same infrastructure. This provides a resilient and secure core network with open
standards that will scale and meet the requirements of all future IP services.
"Delivering a first-rate, dependable service has always been our top priority,"
said Richard Doble, Design and Policy Manager at Surf Telecoms. "This new
network from Transmode will enable us to future-proof our infrastructure so that
we can rapidly respond to our customer's needs, provision new services and
increase bandwidth on demand. In making our selection of vendor it was
refreshing that Transmode's approach was consultative. Not only did they help
design the network, they gave good advice about how to scale it without over
engineering and so keeping our costs down."
The new network was jointly designed to provision a highly flexible national
infrastructure at low cost with new protected 40 channel rings in South Wales
and the Midlands. The additional deployment will add over 650km to Surf's
existing network infrastructure. The iWDM equipment chosen includes Transmode's
TM-Series Multi-Service Access Solution, the Layer 2 Ethernet Muxponder (EMXP)
as well as Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs) to ensure Surf
is able to deliver high-speed services over a state of the art network without
incurring long-term operational costs.
Richard Doble commented "With our low latency fibre-based core network, and the
newly planned network expansion we are in a position to be able to offer our
customers new services while helping them to migrate from E1 to Ethernet and IP
services. The network will enable Surf Telecoms to provide highly flexible
Ethernet and wavelength services to customers across the South West, South
Wales, the Midlands and up to Lincolnshire. Our cooperation with Transmode
assures the future delivery of communications for ourselves and our customers."
"We are very pleased to have met Surf Telecoms' expansion and improved service
needs. The flexibility of Transmode's solutions and our consultative approach
have once again exceeded our customer's expectations. Helping our customers grow
has been key to our success" said Mark Burton, Transmode's Regional Sales
Director for the UK and Ireland.
