Telenor selects Transmode for Metro Core Networks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - 25(th) March 2010 - Transmode, a leading provider of Optical
Networking Solutions, today announced that Telenor Group, a Norwegian global
telecommunications services provider, has signed an agreement for Transmode's
WDM equipment to build a new optical DWDM metro core network in Norway. Telenor
is deploying Transmode's TM-Series throughout 200 sites in order to meet the
increasing demand for capacity from both fixed and mobile broadband traffic.
Transmode has been a longstanding supplier to Telenor of CWDM Metro Access
networks since 2005 and this new Metro Core contract was won against stiff
competition from other leading optical networking vendors. This additional
contract represents a significant expansion in Transmode's business with Telenor
and is a strong endorsement of the companies' ongoing Metro Access contract.
"It is essential for us to have a cost-effective, flexible and scalable solution
to meet new multiservice demands and deliver the best quality services to our
customers," said Bjorn Netland Director Broadband Networks Telenor. "We chose
Transmode from several other suppliers because it offered us a flexible and
reliable metro DWDM solution at the lowest total cost of ownership."
"DWDM networks with integrated service aggregation are an ideal way to simplify
network operations and to increase the capacity and reliability of metro
networks. Being able to easily manage reconfigurable optical networks over time
means we can future proof our entire network."
Telenor is currently offering its customers 1Gbit/s Ethernet services and will
now be able to upgrade to 10Gbit/s rapidly. The company intends to offer HDTV
services over the network and will be able to provide customers with more IP
based services. Bjorn Netland added, "My main aim is to ensure we can meet the
future requirements of our customers without adding large operational costs. I
need to ensure the lowest possible total cost of ownership of the network and
maximize flexibility."

operators with a highly flexible and scalable WDM platform for applications
ranging from regional and national networks to metro and campus networks. The
platform includes industry-leading functionality such as integrated ROADM and

Björn Andersson, Transmode's VP Sales, commented, "The Telenor decision to
deploy Transmode equipment is yet another demonstration of our ability to supply
to Tier One service providers and enable significant increases in capacity
cost-effectively. We are delighted to continue our well-established working
relationship with Telenor and win another global deal."
