Transmode Improves Sloane Park's Czech Republic Wholesale Network With Easy-to-use CWDM Access Solution

STOCKHOLM, Sweden and PRAGUE, Czech Republic - 6th November 2008 - Transmode, a leading provider of Optical Networking solutions, and its Czech Republic-based Value Added Reseller partner RLC, today announced that Sloane Park Property Trust, a Czech wholesale operator, has deployed Transmode TS-Series CWDM access networks across the Czech Republic.

Sloane Park is a national wholesale operator that specializes in telecommunications, IP connect and data transit services. The company provides services to all major service providers and cable TV providers within the territory over its own national fibre optic network built along highly secure oil pipeline and railway infrastructure. The Transmode TS-Series deployments provide Sloane Park with an easy to use, low cost, low power design solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over CWDM access.

"Sloane Park already has an extensive national network but required a xWDM access solution that was better optimized for the edge of our network for new customer connections" said Lubomir Otec, Sloane Park's Chief Technology Officer. "We required a carrier class solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over CWDM access that provided smaller footprint, lower cost and lower ongoing operational cost, while not compromising on scalability and functionality. Transmode's TS-Series was the perfect match for these requirements and the low power design helps the company lower operational costs and to reduce our environmental impact".

The TS-Series deployment provides users with a flexible, modular and scalable xWDM platform. Initially supporting low cost CWDM wavelengths, the system has the scalability to extend to additional CWDM and DWDM wavelengths in-service. Using iWDM (Intelligent WDM) functionality and SFP/XFP pluggable optics the TS-Series provides network operators and enterprises with a true plug and play experience, greatly reducing network and service turn up times and costs.

"As the major wholesale carrier in the region, Sloane Park is at the forefront of innovative network design and we are extremely pleased to be announcing Sloane Park as another new customer within the region, in conjunction with our local partner RLC." said Björn Andersson, Transmode's VP Sales. "The TS-Series provides the ideal platform for applications like this where a small footprint, low power consumption and ease of use are major considerations".
