ADVA Optical Networking, last week announced that Televõrgu AS has deployed ADVA's 100G Core in Major Trans-European Network, connecting Northern and Eastern European countries to Central Europe over a route running through the Baltic States and Poland.
According to ADVA, the ADVA 100G Core uses coherent detection technology and RAMAN amplification to transport up to 9.6Tbit/s of data across 3,000km of fiber without regeneration and without any dispersion compensation. The new transport system with flexgrid reconfigurable add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) technology is ready to carry future bandwidth services, such as 400Gbit/s, across the whole fiber route that stretches from Frankfurt, Germany to Tallinn, Estonia, said ADVA.
ADVA Optical Networking used its facilities in its Meiningen campus to built staging network to test and evaluate every aspect of the deployment, including its physical performance and the software management.
"Our new route has been extremely well received by customers, and almost 20% of the whole capacity is already in use. This network provides a lot of new opportunities in means of features, future deployments and services. This definitely sets us on a lead position on a transmission services market.”
- Ove Ant, CEO, Televõrgu
“We are happy to have a vendor and a partner that is continuously willing to improve and pays a lot of attention to innovation and performance. Coming from an energy background, high availability, robust design and reliability has always been Televõrgu’s main focus when providing services to our customers. The ADVA 100G Core enables us to achieve outstanding performance thanks to smart amplifier design, less modules and optimized node placement across the route. With its moderate power consumption and fully automated GMPLS-based control plane, we are confident about the platform’s capabilities in bringing excellent value to Televõrgu and our customers.”
- Kaida Kaeval, head of network, Televõrgu
“Televõrgu is a company that is continually pushing the boundaries of what's possible. This is what excites our team. With Televõrgu’s trans-European network, we were able to showcase what our ADVA 100G Core can do. Transporting 9.6Tbit/s of data over 3,000km with no regeneration and with no dispersion compensation is a significant achievement. And with the flexibility of our ROADM technology, Televõrgu now has an incredibly powerful and dynamic long-haul infrastructure. This network will enable Televõrgu to take its business to new heights and will provide its customers with incredible new opportunities. We can't wait to see how this develops.”
