Ericsson to upgrade T-Com's optical network in Germany
Ericsson has been selected to provide its DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical technology to T-Com for the upgrade of its metro and regional networks in Germany.
Under the contract, Ericsson will deliver its Multihaul WDM solution, the Marconi-branded MHL 3000, to Deutsche Telekom's broadband/fixed network business unit, T-Com.
Ericsson's Multihaul WDM solution enables T-Com to meet increasing broadband demand by delivering efficient, high-speed data, storage, video, and voice services with outstanding bandwidth utilization and quality of services.
Thanks to its modular architecture, the MHL 3000 adapts to any network needs from the edge to the core in a single fully Optical Transport Network (OTN) enabled solution, reducing network complexity and cost of ownership.
Stefan Kindt, President of Ericsson Germany, says: "I'm very proud to announce this contract. It strengthens our longstanding relationship with T-Com."
T-Com started to use WDM platforms as a long-haul solution in 2004 and it has now decided to extend it to metropolitan and regional networks, using MHL 3000 Metro.
The MHL 3000 Metro offers the combination of low deployment cost and the ability to scale with minimal investment for the various topologies, traffic growth and new service demands inherent in the metro.
The contract is also said to highlight the benefits of the Marconi acquisition to Ericsson's customers.
