Tejas Networks to deploy 100G/100G+ DWDM solution for TelOne

Tejas Networks said that Zimbabwean telecom company TelOne has deployed its 100G/100G+ coherent dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) solution.

The Indian communications equipment company said that its 100G DWDM/OTN solution was selected by the Zimbabwean firm following a competitive bidding process and a field trial.

Tejas Networks said that it could demonstrate high-speed transmission of multiple 100G lambdas successfully while adhering to the stringent performance and reliability needs in a cost-effective manner.

Sanjay Nayak – CEO and MD of Tejas Networks said: “We are delighted that TelOne has deployed our latest 100G/100G+ DWDM/OTN technology for its network expansion. Our solution empowers our customers to diversify their existing DWDM vendor base and use our proven, cost-effective solution to expand and inter-operate.

“It is a prime example of how our open and flexible software-defined-hardware architecture is enabling our customers to become “future-ready” by enabling them to upgrade their existing networks with the latest technologies at incremental cost.”

TelOne is said to have strong connections to various undersea cable systems and has stake in the West Indian Ocean Cable Company (WIOCC), which in turn has a major interest in the East African Submarine System (EASSy) cable.

Chipo Mtasa – Managing Director at TelOne said: “TelOne offers access to a vast network footprint in Zimbabwe. With rising demand for bandwidth and higher speeds from our customers, we were looking for a versatile solution that could significantly expand the capacity on our existing fibre network with incremental investments.

“We were impressed by the capabilities of the Tejas’ solution and its ability to seamlessly carry 100G services with no inter-operability issues. Tejas products have very versatile software, are simple to configure and easy to operate. We appreciate the support of a highly responsive Tejas team, that was able to design and deliver an end-to-end network solution in the shortest period of time.”
