SomCable Rolls Out IP Over DWDM Network Using Optelian's Optical Transport System

 

 

MARIETTA, GA and OTTAWA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/14/12 -- Optical networking specialist Optelian is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with SomCable to deploy Optelian's LightGAIN system on a terrestrial backbone network to provide faster and more cost-effective communication for Somaliland.

 

"After exploring various network architectures," explains Michael Cothill, Chief Executive Officer of SomCable, "we converged on a next-generation IP over Dense Wave Division Multiplexing optical network to carry voice and data traffic throughout Somaliland and Optelian provides exactly what we are looking for. With our aggressive plans to provision a new terrestrial backbone to transport all wireless and internet traffic, SomCable needs an easy to use, reliable, and scalable solution that will allow us to start small and grow to meet our customers' needs."

 

"SomCable designed a state of the art next generation network, so the advanced functionality along with the easy plug and play engineering of Optelian's optical transport solutions serves them well," states Mike Perry, President at Optelian. "LightGAIN's scalable, modular architecture and support for alien-wavelengths provide them with 'Best of Breed' building blocks for their entire network."
