Pirelli Broadband Solutions and Intracom Telecom provide CWDM technology to Hellas Online
Pirelli Broadband Solutions, the broadband access and photonics company within the Pirelli Group, has today announced that, together with Intracom Telecom, a leading supplier of integrated solutions and professional services to telecom operators in the EMEA region, will deploy its City8 CWDM Multiservice Platform solution in Hellas Online's transport network in Athens, Salonika, and rural areas throughout Greece.
"With Pirelli we found not only a high-performance metro access platform but also a solutions partner," said Charalampos Papanastasiou, Wireline Systems Manager of Intracom Telecom. "The Pirelli system is very flexible and allows our customers to add further CWDM capacity and DWDM wavelengths when they need it."
Pirelli's CWDM Metro Access System is a carrier-class platform providing high-bandwidth, managed services over a single fiber pair. Customers of City8 can easily upgrade (in-field) to Pirelli's City+ CWDM & DWDM Multiservice Platform, which supports six CWDM wavelengths, each operating at 2.5Gbit/s, and 16 DWDM wavelengths, each operating at 2.5 or 10Gbit/s, for a total capacity of 175Gbit/s.
"With the announcements of triple-play services and the arrival of faster broadband access technologies such as VDSL2 and FTTx, we are seeing a growing interest for our CWDM/DWDM Multiservice platform," said Pierluigi Franco, senior vice president, Marketing of Photonics Products for Pirelli Broadband Solutions. "Partnering with solutions providers like Intracom Telecom further validates our value proposition."
Pirelli's Metro-Access Multiservice portfolio supports SONET/SDH, FC, 10GE, ESCON, and FICON interfaces. Field programmable electronic core and pluggable SFP/XFP optical transceivers allow telecom operators and MSOs to address all possible network scenarios. Sub-lambda multiplexing enables the transmission of multiple services over a single wavelength while maintaining transparent client services.
