Italian operator Eutelia chooses Nokia Siemens Networks to create a high-capacity fiber optic carrier network across Italy
Nokia Siemens Networks has signed a frame agreement with Eutelia to build a high-performance fiber optic carrier network for the Italian operator. The new generation transport network will allow Eutelia to provide its customers with advanced services and to meet the growing demand for network capacity.
The new network, featuring Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, will be able to respond to the growing traffic demand from Eutelia's customers across Italy, resulting from the rapidly increasing use of data and multimedia services . It will ensure at the same time notable flexibility and cost efficiency in providing and managing network resources.
With scalable DWDM technology, Eutelia will be able to boost traffic volume over its new fiber network and to provide a wide range of services. The system offers short implementation time and easy operation.
"The new network," comments Giovanni De Stefano, General Director of Eutelia, "is a part of Eutelia strategy to play a protagonist role in the next years, when competition will be tougher especially in the area of new services, thanks to wireless broadband access networks, as WiMax for example, which need a transport network with growing capacity and speed."
According to Roberto Loiola, the head of the South East Europe Subregion at Nokia Siemens Networks, "Eutelia is today one of the most dynamic and promising operators in the market for the provision of long-distance connectivity services and bases its growth strategies on innovative and high quality architectural and service standards. We are proud to be able to state that, even in this extremely competitive market, our company's offer has succeeded in expressing the right synthesis between technology and innovation, paying particular attention to its customer's real needs".
"We chose the Nokia Siemens Networks platform because its flexible transport architecture permits us to respond to the needs of a market which is constantly seeking greater band flexibility. Furthermore there is a simplified installation and maintenance. This particular system architecture needs few spare parts, which brings managing costs to a very low level," explains Andrea Lazzaroli , the head of the transport network division of Eutelia.
The Nokia Siemens Networks DWDM platform, together with the Telecommunications Network Management System (TNMS) is among a new class of products for building transparent optical networks. The solution offers a ready answer to the dramatic increase in network traffic caused by such applications like High Definition TV, movie downloads and Virtual Private Networks (VPN) for enterprises.
