BICS Deploys Coriant Groove™ Solution in Major European Metro Markets to Boost High-Capacity, Low Latency Connectivity Services
Coriant (News - Alert), a global supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end packet optical
networking and DCI solutions, today announced that BICS, a global
wholesale carrier for voice, mobile data and capacity services, has
begun deployment of the Coriant
Groove™ G30 Network Disaggregation Platform in its pan-European
network. The Coriant solution will enable BICS to cost-efficiently serve
the growing need for high-capacity, low latency connectivity in major
European metropolitan area markets, including London, Brussels, Paris,
Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Marseille. BICS selected the Groove G30 for
its industry-leading high density, ultra-low power consumption, and
innovative plug-and-play system architecture optimized for
cost-efficient scalability.
"Metro markets are at the heart of surging demand for reliable,
high-capacity services as high-bandwidth applications continue to
transform the end-user communications landscape," said Xavier Gondry,
Head of International Network Planning & Deployment, BICS. "With a
highly compact, modular design and low power consumption, the Groove
transport solution was a perfect fit for our evolving metro network
needs. The solution gives us the ability to respond quickly to capacity
needs and demands from our customers all while significantly minimizing
both footprint and power usage."
BICS is using the industry-leading Groove transmission solution to
support the delivery of metro-based high-capacity, low latency
point-to-point services, including 10G, coherent 10G, and OTU4
services. Initial deployment of the Groove systems began in Marseille
last month and is now carrying live traffic. Additional deployments are
planned for Brussels, Frankfurt, London, and other major European
metropolitan area markets in the coming months.
"We are excited to renew our relationship with BICS and deliver a
best-in-class transport solution that will help them enhance the
scalability and robustness of their business and wholesale services
across Europe," said Richard Fellner, Regional Vice President, EMEA,
Coriant.
The Coriant Groove™ G30 Platform is purpose-built to deliver
programmable, high speed, and secure bandwidth that today's mobile,
video, and cloud applications require, with ultra-low power consumption,
high density, and flexibility for high-performance connectivity at the
lowest total cost. The stackable solution supports 3.2 terabits of
capacity throughput in a compact and highly pluggable 1RU form factor,
and enables service providers and cloud and data center operators to
build their own scalable and secure transmission and optical line
solutions with best-in-class functions, all enabled through open
APIs. The solution supports programmable DWDM line interface to optimize
the bandwidth and performance of high-capacity transmission from 100G to
400G in metro, regional, or long-haul transport and/or DCI applications.
Coriant recently expanded the Groove solution with the introduction of
an open, plug-and-play optical layer that delivers 3X the density over
comparable solutions and unmatched configuration flexibility, including
support for both coherent and direct detect optical layer applications.
