Sorrento Networks today announced that Neos Networks, a leading telecom network operator in Europe, has deployed the Sorrento GigaMux wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) products to increase the capacity of its expansive network that supports thousands of subscribers in the United Kingdom (UK). Neos selected Sorrento’s platform to support the increasing optical bandwidth needs associated with high-speed data communications and video.
Through its implementation of Sorrento’s GigaMux 3200 platform, Neos can seamlessly add capacity to its existing WDM infrastructure without interrupting traffic signals. This gives the company the flexibility to build out its optical ring and mesh networks across the UK to respond to customers’ needs on demand. Neos is currently using the GigaMux 3200 to support 1Gb Ethernet, 2.5 GB services and 10 GB local-area and wide-area networking capabilities for its broad customer base.
“By cost-effectively increasing our network bandwidth we can make more next-generation consumer and business services available to our customers faster,” said Adrian Pike, group director of Neos Networks. “Sorrento’s GigaMux platform gives us the level of flexibility we need to remain competitive in this fast-growth environment.”
Sorrento’s GigaMux 3200 WDM platform enables Neos to deliver high-speed services with significantly reduced capital outlay and fewer management requirements than other optical networking products. A protocol-independent design allows the GigaMux platform to transport and extend the traffic of SONET/SDH, layer 2/3 Ethernet and SAN simultaneously and in their native format. This unmatched level of flexibility and control allows Neos Networks to add or upgrade bandwidth incrementally based on traffic requirements.
“As traffic grows and urban networks become more complex, regions like the UK where Neos operates are seeing unprecedented growth of WDM in their metropolitan networks,” said Jim Nevelle, CEO of Sorrento Networks. “Our GigaMux equipment allows operators like Neos to build highly cost-efficient transport networks that allow them to extend their services to the metro core and metro access faster than their competitors.”
