Nokia Siemens Networks improves network capacity for E-Plus Group
E-Plus Group modernizes optical network to meet mobile broadband demand
Germany’s E-Plus Group offers now improved mobile broadband with higher bandwidth, thanks to an upgraded backbone network deployed by Nokia Siemens Networks. The country-wide upgrade, based on flexible, cost-effective Ethernet technology, covers more than 60 sites. The system also incorporates a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) backhaul platform from ADVA Optical Networking to improve E-Plus’s ability to respond to sudden surges in mobile data traffic.
“The use of mobile Internet and broadband services keeps increasing as users demand anytime, anywhere connectivity,” said Gerhard Lüdtke, director, Access Network of E-Plus Group. “E-Plus implemented a backbone network that is fast and flexible enough to meet the increasing demand. In addition the backbone network provides the cost efficiencies to operate successfully at current traffic volumes.”
“Today, operators need to quickly rise to the challenge of sudden surges in the mobile data traffic,” said Ingo Goldenberg, head of customer team E-Plus Group at Nokia Siemens Networks. “With Ethernet emerging as the dominant technology for cost-effective data transport, E-Plus is ensuring that its investment is well-protected today and in the years to come.”
The backbone network is based on next-generation metro area network (MAN) platforms from Nokia Siemens Networks (the hiT 7070 and hiT 7030 platforms), and its partner ADVA Optical Networking (FSP 3000 platform).
“ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 3000 platform delivers E-Plus a reliable solution that provides flexibility to add backbone capacity and ensure scalability,” said Hartmut Müller-Leitloff, vice president for sales central Europe at ADVA Optical Networking. “Up to 80 wavelengths per fiber pair, and fully integrated transponder and multiplex transponder options ranging from 100 Mbps to 40 Gbps – and soon 100 Gbps – enable new services and higher customer satisfaction. Multi-degree Reconfigurable Optical add-drop Multiplexer (ROADMs) provides the E-Plus Group highest flexibility to handle future traffic demand in its DWDM backbone.”
With the upgraded backbone network, E-Plus is able to meet different bandwidth needs and respond to sudden traffic surges. Next-generation metro (NGM) platforms link the backbone to network elements such as access systems and routers. This ensures the increased performance is well-distributed throughout the network. In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks’ network management solution enables E-Plus to manage the NGM end-to-end.
Nokia Siemens Networks was responsible for the complete system integration and project management, using its in-house expertise to ensure that the network meets the business demands of E-Plus and the service demands of its subscribers.
