Finland-based Cinia has selected Ribbon Communications' Apollo OTN Transport and Switching platforms to upgrade its backbone transport network in Finland and Northern Europe.
Cinia is leveraging Ribbon's Apollo 9600 series of optical transport platforms and Apollo 9900 series OTN switching platforms at critical nodes for wavelength grooming and route protection. The flexgrid backbone accelerates service provisioning by using colorless, directionless ROADMs (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers) to map services onto wavelengths. The solution also transports and monitors alien lambdas, enabling Cinia to offer other carriers transit services with their own wavelengths.
Additionally, the deployed platform with Ribbon's TM800E programmable transmission blades enable transport of 400GbE client connections, adding the latest generation of high-speed service functionality while maintaining network efficiency.
Taneli Vuorinen, EVP from Cinia
Our long-term co-operation with Ribbon's IP Optical team (former ECI,) has been successful and by deploying Ribbon's optical transport networking (OTN) solutions into Cinia's backbone network, we've increased our flexibility and offering to respond to market demand.
Steve McCaffery, Ribbon's EVP Sales of EMEA and APAC
Our modular optical networking solution enabled them to upgrade their network capabilities with no interruption while further enhancing the quality of their commercial offering.
