Kvant Telecom Deploys Ekinops Coherent 100G between Moscow and Kharkov
PARIS --(Business Wire)--
Russian service provider Kvant
Telecom has selected Ekinops,
a leading supplier of next generation optical transport equipment, to
provide coherent 100G transmission between Moscow and the Ukrainian city
of Kharkov.
The 100G service is deployed over an existing DWDM system as alien
wavelengths and provides Kvant Telecom a massive increase in capacity.
It also allows Kvant Telecom to expand its offering to include native
100G services for its diverse domestic and international customers.
Kvant Telecom, founded in 2007, offers a broad range of communications
services to commercial and residential customers via more than 1,500
kilometers of fiber and more than 100 nodes throughout eastern Russia.
The Ekinops (News - Alert) 100G equipment is part of the Ekinops
360 family and is extremely compact at just 1RU height. It can be
configured as a 100G transponder or 100G muxponder for aggregation of
10G services into 100G. The Ekinops 360 devices are located in Moscow
and Voronezh in Russia and at a collocation site in Khrkov in Ukraine.
From Kharkov, the 100G link is further extended to Kiev and Lviv in
Ukraine, and then on to Frankfurt, Germany.
"The ultra-high performance and small form factor of our Ekinops 360
platform allowed Kvant Telecom to seamlessly integrate our 100G
solution," said Didier Bredy, CEO of Ekinops. "This complements the
Ekinops 20G services already deployed over their existing DWDM network
for more than a year."
"The Ekinops solution is meeting perfectly our technical expectations,"
said Alexander Torohov, General Director of Kvant Telecom. "It allows us
to address the huge demand we are seeing to connect Moscow with other
European hubs. We are particularly impressed by the optical performance
of the Ekinops 100G product, its small footprint, low power consumption
and cost which will hold down our overall cost of ownership."
The Ekinops 360 is Ekinops' flagship next-generation optical transport
platform, providing DWDM and CWDM (dense and coarse wavelength division
multiplexing) on a single platform for metro, regional, and long-haul
applications. It handles service rates from 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps. It
offers a broad portfolio of services, including SONET/SDH, Fibre
Channel, FICON, video, Ethernet, and Infiniband.
