GlobalConnect
chooses Transmode Systems
Transmode Systems AB, a leading supplier of transmission equipment
for fibre optic networks, announced today that its CWDM platform, System
1100, has been chosen by the Danish alternative service provider GlobalConnect.
GlobalConnect is offering value-added data transmission services to data
and telecommunications companies in Denmark, Northern Germany and Sweden.
The company is currently expanding its backbone network by utilizing one
of its fibre rings between Copenhagen and Hamburg. The transmission equipment
chosen for this new network is System 1100, the CWDM platform from Transmode
Systems.
"Transmode's ability to add amplification to their CWDM platform
makes their solution very attractive for this network", says GlobalConnect's
CEO Niels Zibrandtsen. "The cost efficiency and functionality that
Transmode is able to offer can't be found elsewhere in the industry."
Isaac Olasoko, Transmode's CEO, responds "We are very happy to see
among other features our amplified solution come to the benefit of a service
provider like GlobalConnect. This solution saves a number of repeater
sites and in combination with the overall cost-efficiency of our CWDM
solution we are able to reach a price point that our competitors just
can't achieve."
GlobalConnect also has a couple of other networks in their pipeline, for
which they have Transmode in mind as transmission equipment supplier.
Both ring, access and Metropolitan networks within Copenhagen are planned
as well as a ring between Copenhagen and Gothenburg.
