Vogel Telecom, a leading carrier’s carrier service provider in Brazil, has selected an integrated OTN switching and coherent optical transport solution from Coriant to scale its nationwide backbone network and enhance the delivery of flexible end-user services, including OTN, Ethernet, MPLS-TP, and SDH.

The new project represents an extension to a contract originally signed at the end of 2016.

Vogel Telecom’s national scope includes a network infrastructure that spans over 21,000 kilometers of fiber optics and supports high-capacity connectivity services across over 600 cities in 13 Brazilian states and the Federal District of Brasília. The new national backbone project covers over 4,000 kilometers of fiber optic transmission and connects the States of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro.

The project will strengthen Vogel´s presence in major markets in Brazil by expanding its business in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte and by adding Rio de Janeiro as a new location under Vogel´s coverage.

The end-to-end Coriant solution for Vogel Telecom includes the Coriant 7100 Pico Packet Optical Transport Platform for cost-efficient metro access, the state-of-the-art Coriant mTera Universal Transport Platform for agnostic service aggregation and OTN switching, and the Coriant hiT 7300 Multi-Haul Transport Platform for best-in-class long haul coherent DWDM transmission.

To simplify end-to-end provisioning and efficiently manage multi-domain traffic as a single network, Vogel Telecom will rely on the Coriant Transport Network Management System (TNMS). 

Denio Portella, CTO, Vogel Telecom
This equipment will offer us essential reinforcement for the increase in capacity in our transport network. Through this initiative we will have a large production capacity available between our main cities, while ensuring a network that is flexible and robust.

Alberto Barriento, Managing Director, Caribbean and Latin America, Coriant 
We are pleased to be a trusted supplier for Vogel Telecom and are working closely with Logicalis to help them differentiate their high-capacity connectivity services by delivering a superior customer experience from end-to-end.
