While most service providers follow a similar path along major interstate highways, UFD\u2019s fiber network is geographically diverse providing an alternate path between major carrier hotels and data centers for enhanced reliability and service assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Increasing customer demand for high bandwidth lit services led UFD to select the EKINOPS 360 optical transport solution for use in its New York City metro network as well as in its diversely built long-haul fiber backbone connecting New York City with Ashburn, Virginia. Specifically, UFD is using the EKINOPS PM 600FRS06 600G FlexRate solution to address both applications due to its multi-reach capability from access to ultra-long haul as well as its multi-rate service support. UFD is initially deploying the PM 600FRS06 for both 10G and 100G service delivery in its New York City metro network with 100G connectivity on its backbone between New York City and Northern, Virginia. As demand increases, UFD will be able to add capacity on any portion of the network as needed through the management interface without having to replace hardware or interrupt existing services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avec FlexRate, la solution configurable \u00e0 distance d\u2019Ekinops, UFD peut d\u00e9sormais \u00e0 la fois minimiser ses co\u00fbts, en regroupant ses services sur un seul module optique, mais aussi r\u00e9duire le nombre de d\u00e9placements de techniciens n\u00e9cessaires, et donc r\u00e9duire ses d\u00e9penses op\u00e9rationnelles lorsque des modifications sont apport\u00e9es au service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cWhat we were looking for was a solution that could be easily deployed to provide our customers greater flexibility, enhanced capacity and high bit rate capabilities to effectively meet their growing business development and communications needs without compromising their budget,<\/em>\u201d said Christopher Lodge, chief operating officer for UFD<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to provide the capability to access and deliver fully managed, point-to-point optical wavelength services over our geographically diverse fiber optic network using state-of-the-art Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network technology with up to 600G wavelength capabilities in the future.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cEKINOPS est heureux d\u2019accompagner UFD dans la transition de leur r\u00e9seau et l\u2019\u00e9largissement de leur mod\u00e8le commercial<\/em>\u201d said Kevin Antill, Ekinops\u2019 group vice president of sales for North America<\/strong>. \u201cOffering lit services in a competitive market requires the ability to add capacity efficiently and cost effectively, and that\u2019s what the total solution of the EKINOPS 600G FlexRate hardware and Celestis NMS<\/em><\/strong> software provides.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
