Huawei to deploy next generation DWDM platform for GlobeNet

PLANO, USA: Huawei has been selected by GlobeNet to deploy a next-generation dense wavelength division multiplexing (NG-DWDM) optical platform.

Huawei’s turnkey, plug-and-play upgradable NG-DWDM platform will connect GlobeNet’s cable landing station, in southern New Jersey, to its Point of Presence (POP) sites in New York City via two diverse paths. These links allow GlobeNet to seamlessly offer high availability services from NYC to its cable landing sites in Brazil, Venezuela, Bermuda, Florida and beyond.

Under the agreement, Huawei will provide its OSN 6800 NG-DWDM OTN optical platform hardware and also upgrade the software of GlobeNet’s existing iManager T2000 Network Management System (NMS). The network solution will support 10Gb/s, 40Gb/s, and future 100Gb/s wavelengths to competitively deliver advanced, high bandwidth services today and well into the future.

As part of Huawei’s All-IP convergence strategy, the iManager T2000 will integrate the existing Huawei ADM (Add and Drop Module) equipment and services, presently in place, with the new DWDM equipment and services for a unified managed solution.

“Huawei’s understanding of our network requirements, dedicated support resources, and ability to meet our aggressive project delivery dates were key factors in selecting them as our partner for this project,” said Luiz Alonso, Director, Engineering and Operations, GlobeNet.

“This project enables GlobeNet to expand their network in the eastern region of the United States, and reflects our commitment to supporting GlobeNet’s All-IP network transformation through the delivery of this state-of-the-art transport network,” said Carl Liu, Executive Vice President of Huawei North America.
