UCOM modernizes network to increase data transfer rate to 100 gbit/s
YEREVAN, September 2. / ARKA /. Ucom Armenian telecom provider said
today it is installing the optical technology of Alcatel-Lucent in
order to meet the growing demand for network capacity prompted by an
abrupt increase in the number of devices and applications used by
local customers.
Alcatel-Lucent will help Ucom to upgrade the network infrastructure by
installing the 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) as a key element of
transport solutions 100G WDM / Optical Transport Network (OTN).
"Thanks to the new optical IP network Ucom will be the first Armenian
telecom to ensure data transfer rates at up to 100 Gbit /s. The new
network will be able to cope with the growth of data traffic and will
also accelerate and reduce the cost of deployment of new broadband
services, needed by individual and corporate clients in order to use
new devices and applications, as well as work with the cloud, Ucom
said in a press release.
Alcatel-Lucent will also provide professional services for the design,
engineering, installation and commissioning. The deployment is planned
for the period from August to November 2014, according to the press
release.
Ucom has built the first FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) network in Armenia,
providing "3 in 1" service, including access to the Internet, IPTV and
digital telephony. The company is also one of the largest transit ISPs
in the country.
'Alcatel-Lucent has demonstrated that its solution is the best to meet
the growing subscriber demand for bandwidth. We look forward to the
implementation of new joint projects with it," Ucom CEO Hayk Yesayan
was quoted as saying in the press release.
Alcatel-Lucent chief manager for Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia, Alexey
Khakhlyuk, said the project is the first joint project, performed in
collaboration with Ucom.
"Upon the completion of the project Ucom will be able to run a single
converged network, in which the new 100-gigabit and higher speed
services will be provided economically and efficiently, ensuring
maximum availability of network resources. The project will also help
meet the growing demand for network capacity, due to the increase in
the number of devices and applications that require more and more
bandwidth,' said Khakhlyuk.
Ucom (Universal Communications) was founded in 2007 and is engaged in
the provision of telecommunication services. With assistance from
Ericsson, the company has established a broadband network, providing
Internet services, IPTV and fixed telephony. -0-
