Tiscali Selects Infinera for Nationwide Italian Network
December 03 2009 - 10:12AM
Marketwired
Tiscali, one of the leading telecommunications companies in Italy,
has selected an Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) Digital Optical Network for
its nationwide Italian backbone and metro networks to provide its
customers in Italy with the speed and flexibility of Infinera
solutions.
Tiscali will be deploying the Infinera DTN for its national
backbone network and Infinera ATN systems for its metro
networks.
With more than 700,000 customers in Italy, of which more than
550,000 use ADSL access technology, Tiscali chose Infinera
solutions because the features and capabilities of the Infinera
systems will enable Tiscali to offer important benefits to its
customers. With Infinera's highly scalable bandwidth, Tiscali will
be able to meet customers' need for increased bandwidth quickly, as
well as extend its footprint into new regions and new metro
areas.
The Infinera network will support Tiscali's plans to increase
its service offerings to new customers, including telecom operators
and large enterprises. The ease of deployment and commissioning of
Infinera solutions makes it possible to deploy a nationwide network
far more quickly than with traditional DWDM systems which require
significantly more time to deploy systems and turn up individual
wavelengths.
"Our customer demand is growing rapidly and Infinera's digital
solutions enable us to meet those needs quickly and easily," said
Tiscali General Manager Luca Scano. "Infinera's next generation
Digital Optical Networks technology is helping Tiscali achieve its
goal of operating the most modern, advanced and resilient network
in Italy, thus delivering reliable and high-quality services to our
customers."
Tiscali is deploying the new Infinera ATN metro edge platform in
more than 80 metro areas where it already has a strong network
presence, including most major and medium-sized Italian cities such
as Rome, Milan, Turin, and Palermo. The ATN is designed to offer
seamless integration with an Infinera DTN network with a common
network management system, enabling end-to-end service provisioning
and visibility. With the ability to eliminate back-to-back
transponders at network interconnection points, an ATN/DTN network
can deliver savings in capital expenditure, while extending
Infinera's well-known ease of operation to the metro edge. The ATN
offers flexible configurations to simplify and accelerate network
deployment. The ATN has been designed to offer best-in-class
density and power consumption in a small form factor. It is
designed to support all metro transport services, including
Ethernet, SAN, SONET/SDH, OTN and video services.
"We are thrilled to support Tiscali, one of the most innovative
and entrepreneurial telecom operators in Europe, with an Infinera
Digital Optical Network," said Infinera CEO Jagdeep Singh. "This
combined ATN and DTN network will enable Tiscali to offer superior
customer service, scalability, and network reliability to their
existing customers, as well as significantly enlarge their customer
base."
The Infinera family of optical solutions includes the Infinera
DTN, the first optical system based on large-scale photonic
integrated circuits, and the Infinera ATN, a compact metro edge
platform that extends the benefits of Infinera's Digital Optical
Networks to the metro edge.
