TRANSMODE IS CHOSEN BY PFALZKOM FOR ITS NETWORK UPGRADE
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – 21 February, 2008 – PfalzKom, a regional carrier in Ludwigshafen, Germany, has chosen a combination of CWDM and DWDM technology from Transmode to upgrade its network. The systems from Transmode are being used for both inter-connection as well as in the wider development of the PfalzKom network.
In order to increase network capacity and to extend the geographic coverage of its existing network, PfalzKom has linked more than 40 of Deutsche Telekom’s main distribution nodes to PfalzKom’s own core optical network using CWDM technology. PfalzKom can now offer additional services to its business customers and act as a Local Loop operator for alternative carriers.
To connect the
main distribution nodes PfalzKom is using Transmode’s
TS-Series, which is a multi-service optical networking platform that supports
both CWDM and DWDM. In addition PfalzKom is using Transmode’s
TM-Series for DWDM to interconnect its datacenters
in Ludwigshafen and Mannheim
over a redundant ring to the central exchange in Frankfurt
– based on DWDM and at higher data rates. The transparent 9x Gigabit Ethernet
muxponder cards, with their 10Gbit/s interfaces, act as an efficient manager of
the respective wavelengths required.
"We are
delighted with the Transmode
TS-Series because of its robustness and ease of use," said Jürgen
Beyer PfalzKom.
"The solution has no unnecessary complexity and is truly scalable over a
large area and it offers a simple web-based management system. Above all, the
installed iWDM-Technology has far lower operating costs than any of the other
similar solutions, which, in our expanding network, is a great advantage."
iWDMTM
is a set of intelligent features that enable cost efficient transport which minimizes
CAPEX and OPEX for example through patented automatic provisioning technology.
"PfalzKom
has established itself as a leading regional carrier in large parts of
Rheinland-Pfalz and in Saarland,
and we are pleased to be able to contribute to its further growth", said
Björn Andersson, Vice President Sales, Transmode.
"With the installation of TS-Series and TM-Series PfalzKom has equipped
itself with an excellent technological basis for further economical development
of its network."
The Transmode TS-Series
C/DWDM platform is the simplest system available, to install, commission and
manage without any compromise in functionality or performance.. The TM-Series
is a family of carrier grade optical transport products providing transport of
any service for multi-reach applications. The platform has one of the widest ranges of functionality available on
any single WDM platform.
