Atlantic Metro Partners with PacketLight Networks to Add 200G Capacity to Their Existing Network

PacketLight Networks, a leading provider of DWDM and optical fiber networking solutions, announced a partnership with Atlantic Metro, to upgrade their existing dense division wavelength multiplexing (DWDM) network routes to 200G capacity. PacketLight extended capacity using its alien wavelength solution and adding a 200G single coherent wavelength. Atlantic Metro (News - Alert) provides cloud hosting, nationwide network connectivity, and secure data center colocation to over 1,100 customers ranging from Fortune 500 enterprises, to healthcare organizations, legal firms, web start-ups, media, and retail.

Atlantic Metro integrated PacketLight's PL-2000M flexible muxponder/transponder solution with a built-in optical amplifier and optical switch to provide increased capacity to their network at three different metro locations, with compatibility for 4 x 40GbE and 4 x 10GbE protocols.

"With data consumption increasing exponentially year-over-year, the need for a higher capacity network that supports 200G is a requirement for modern IT infrastructure," says Koby Reshef, CEO of PacketLight Networks. "By leveraging our PL-2000M solution, Atlantic Metro was able to povide their customers with the capacity needed to mitigate network congestion, all in a 1U footprint to promote massive OPEX (News - Alert) and CAPEX savings."

PacketLight's vendor-agnostic solution allows a simple upgrade to Atlantic Metro's existing optical infrastructure layer without the need for a "rip and replace" of DWDM Muxes. The 200G uplink is tunable and covers the entire ITU 50GHz and 100GHz grids, providing Atlantic Metro with a simple way to make necessary adjustments and select the required wavelength. The PL-2000M is equipped with on-board Layer-1 (the physical layer) security, which adds the lowest amount of latency for secure data transfer across a network.

"PacketLight's solution was the perfect fit for our need to add capacity to our network in a simple and affordable way," says Stephen Klenert (News - Alert), Chief Strategy Officer & Co-Founder of Atlantic Metro. "We were able to implement their equipment with no changes to our existing network architecture and most importantly no impact to existing customer circuits."
