Transmode wins in France

NEO TELECOMS, PARIS, INSTALLS OPTICAL NETWORK SOLUTIONS FROM TRANSMODE

Neo Telecoms, Paris
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — 02 June 2008 — Neo Telecoms, Paris, an IP specialist offering a range of carrier-class network services has improved its connectivity, quality of service and international growth potential by installing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network equipment from Transmode, a leading provider of optical networking solutions.

After considering several competitive solutions, Neo decided to install a combination of Transmode’s TM-Series and TS-Series WDM systems. The installation of Transmode’s multipurpose equipment enabled new services not previously available in Neo’s portfolio.

Final delivery, system testing and training of Neo’s workforce took place in November 2007 and the equipment was commissioned and ready by the end of December 2007 – ahead of schedule and on budget. "Transmode’s TM-Series and TS-Series are ideally suited for the metro network because they allow our existing city services to be extended, which in turn enables new services for our customers," said Didier Soucheyre, Neo’s CEO and CTO. “A major attraction of the Transmode solutions is their modularity, which gives us the flexibility to easily change the arrangement as our needs change. I also wanted equipment that is remotely manageable and which shows the functionality of the whole network at any given time. A key Neo objective is to automate the provisioning of redundancy as much as possible. The Transmode solution’s iWDM capabilities meet those needs for us.”

Neo initially plans to use its newly-installed Transmode solutions to extend its metro services. The new structure will replace point-to-point customer solutions with easily reconfigurable multi-customer services. “The previous Neo architecture was based on a linear box-to-box solution between just a pair of our customers,” Didier Soucheyre added. “Now Transmode’s network approach enabled us to create a more flexible architecture.”

Another benefit of the Transmode-Neo deal has been the joint selling of the expanded network’s services by both partners to potential new customers. Since the initial contact between Transmode and Neo, the companies have maintained a dialogue, which Didier Soucheyre says has been instrumental in growing customer confidence and increasing the potential for new business. “We have learned together about the potential of the WDM approach with our customers. We convinced Neo customers that the combination of the Neo and Transmode strategies and equipment would be a good solution.”

“Transmode is very pleased to be able to contribute to the further growth of Neo Telecoms and to provide solutions that enable new service offerings” said Pascale Birebent, Transmode’s France Sales Manager. “The French market is important for Transmode and with our TM-Series and TS-Series we have the right platforms to meet the growing demand for bandwidth.”
