Press Release
Coriant, a global supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end packet optical networking and DCI solutions, today announced that C&W Networks, a Liberty Latin America company, has deployed the Coriant mTera® Universal Transport Platform in its Pan-Caribbean network to optimize its network backbone for current and future high-speed service demands and simplify multiservice bandwidth management. The Coriant mTera® solution enables C&W Networks to aggregate and groom diverse traffic types on a compact, scalable, and converged platform.
“Adding new 100Gbit/s port services, reducing network complexity and streamlining service delivery are key drivers behind our network-wide optimization initiative,” said Paul Scott, President, C&W Networks. “When it comes to multiservice bandwidth management, the Coriant mTera solution has exceeded expectations and is helping us differentiate and innovate our broadband and IP capacity services, ensuring the continued excellence of both customer service experience and infrastructure across the Caribbean and Latin America region.”
The C&W Networks subsea network optimization project using the Coriant mTera® solution will be implemented in multiple phases, with initial deployment at core sites in Colombia, Curaçao, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, and the United States. First phase deployment includes support for protected 100Gbit/s services, Ethernet aggregation and legacy SDH migration applications. To simplify capacity provisioning and efficiently manage service bandwidth, C&W Networks is using the Coriant® Transcend™ Chorus Transport Network Management System (TNMS), a single robust management platform that helps service providers control OpEx and CapEx with sophisticated centralized end-to-end network control, automated provisioning features, multiple service protection schemes and advanced planning capabilities.
“Our industry-leading mTera solution offers operators like C&W Networks a pragmatic approach to service migration by providing completely protocol agnostic transport and switching capabilities in a single platform,” said Uwe Fischer, Executive Vice President, R&D and PLM, and CTO, Coriant. “The result is a highly efficient and scalable bandwidth management infrastructure with the ability to dynamically adapt to rapidly changing traffic demands.”
The mTera® UTP is an extremely flexible multiservice transport solution that supports software-defined Universal Transport & Switching for OTN, Carrier Ethernet, MPLS-TP, and SONET/SDH in a single, power-efficient system architecture. With a compact form factor that supports an extremely dense 7Tbit/s of universal switching capacity per shelf with up to 12Tbit/s of total switching capacity per rack, the mTera® UTP provides C&W Networks with a scalable foundation for future network growth.
