Mika & All, (Re ERION) Seems significant that Finland chose
A DWDM system from Ericsson, rather than NOKIA.
Is it true that Ericsson is a leader in this technology.
Who competes with Ericsson in this area.
Regards,
Mardy.
Ericsson chosen by Telefónica S.A. to increase the capacity of
transport network
Ericsson has been chosen by Telefónica S.A. to expand the company's
existing network capacity. The solution is based on DWDM (Dense
Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, which uses optical
signals with different wavelengths in order to increase the capacity of
the optical fibre.
One year ago the Ericsson DWDM platform, which is called Ericsson
Optical Networking (ERION ), signed the first contract for the supply
of an optical networking system with Telecom Finland, now Sonera. It
was one of the first DWDM technology installations in Europe.
Telefónica has chosen an expandable 16-32 channel system - called
ERION Networker - with applications including "point-to-point" and
"self-healing rings".
"Ericsson's DWDM technology offers significant advantages: it supports
all kind of traffic and it offers security, making it possible to
design solutions which closely maps each customer's needs. Ericsson's
DWDM solutions allows operators to maximise the performance of SDH and
PDH systems and constitute an excellent platform for ATM and IP
interconnection," said Carl-Magnus Hallberg, DWDM Programme Director,
Ericsson BU Transport & Cable Networks.
Ericsson has developed together with partners a wide range of
technologies for the construction of access and transport networks that
are prepared for the bandwidth revolution. Ericsson offers a complete
family of transport networks products including solutions based on SDH,
PDH and DWDM. Over 70 customers in more than 50 countries have selected
transport networks by Ericsson.
Ericsson is the leading provider in the new telecoms world, with
communications solutions that combine telecom and datacom technologies
with the freedom of mobility for the user. With more than 100,000
employees in 140 countries, Ericsson simplifies communications for its
customers - network operators, service providers, enterprises and
consumers - the world over.
