Verizon Deploys 100G Ethernet in Europe MARCH 2, 2011 \| Post a comment \| lightreading.com NEW YORK -- Verizon has deployed the first standards-based, multivendor 100 gigabit Ethernet link for an IP backbone on a portion of the company's European long-haul network, increasing capacity and performance for customers. The deployment marks Verizon's latest step in advancing 100G technology by implementing 100G Ethernet connections between routers on its IP network. Using Juniper Networks routers and Ciena's commercially-available 100G Ethernet coherent optical transport solution, Verizon implemented 100G Ethernet connections between routers on its European backbone network between Paris and Frankfurt, a distance of 893 kilometers (555 miles). This advanced 100G router-to-router technology enables IP traffic to be more efficiently transported on the underlying 100G wavelengths. "We don't have to look too far into the future to know that bandwidth needs will continue to grow, so Verizon is taking this next step of deploying a 100G Ethernet link to stay ahead of that demand," said Ihab Tarazi, vice president of global network planning for Verizon. "We will continue to deploy this technology on our global network where demand is highest." As capacity needs increase, consolidating traffic onto one 100G channel rather than several 10G channels – the current speed for most network backbone traffic today -- is more cost effective and allows for the maximum amount of data to be transmitted with the fewest number of transmission errors.
