[May 06, 2013] Netia selects Nokia Siemens for 100G network in Poland Tweet May 06, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Netia S.A., a provider of fixed-line telecommunications services, has introduced 100 gigabit per second, or 100G, wavelengths in its optical fiber network. Based on Nokia Siemens Networks's optical transport dense wavelength division multiplexing, or DWDM, platform hiT 7300 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet, or GbE, transponder, the upgraded network reportedly provides a 40-fold increase in capacity. The solution was reportedly integrated into Netia S.A.'s existing fiber optical infrastructure provided by a third party vendor, thereby protecting its investment in its infrastructure. "With this upgrade, we can transmit over a single fiber the capacity required for more than 800,000 broadband service customers to be connected simultaneously to the Internet," said Marek Owczarski, technology development manager, Netia S.A. "We strive to deliver the most advanced services to our customers. Our preferred partner, Nokia Siemens Networks, is instrumental to that objective as it has the crucial understanding of our system's requirements and roadmaps." "Netia S.A. not only protected its investment in the existing infrastructure, but also significantly expanded the capacity of the network for a fraction of the cost of having swapped out the existing infrastructure," said Herbert Merz, head of Optical Networks, Nokia Siemens Networks. "We are confident that the upgrade to ultra-fast data transmission allows Netia S.A. to ensure a superior mobile broadband customer experience." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
