Czech operator SELFservis deploys Transmode DWDM technology

DECEMBER 3, 2008 -- SELFservis, a Czech cable-TV and alternative operator, has deployed the Transmode (search for Transmode) TM-Series in its CzechBone network across the Czech Republic.
 
The SELFservis-operated national CzechBone network provides local and national transit connectivity and a range of data services to international customers and local Cable TV operators. Customers such as UPC, Telekom Austria, and GTS use the CzechBone network for high-speed services.

The Transmode TM-Series provides SELFservis with a Gigabit Ethernet over CWDM and DWDM network that takes advantage of the company's Intelligent WDM (iWDM) concept and low-power design. This provides SELFservis with a scalable network offering what Transmode claims is industry-leading Ethernet over WDM functionality, significantly reduced operating costs, and lower power consumption.
 
"The expansion of the CzechBone network is an important project for SELFservis," reports Jan Dasovsky, SELFservis' CEO and owner. "As network capacity grows, we need a solution that can scale quickly and differentiate our network, while keeping operational costs down. We evaluated a number of global WDM vendors and selected Transmode due to the company's focus on WDM technology. The Transmode TM-Series provides us at SELFservis with a solid platform for network growth while providing the best whole life cost," he says.
 
Transmode's value-added reseller partner in the Czech Republic, RLC Praha, provides SELFservis with a range of additional services, including 24/7 monitoring of the network.
 
"The SELFservis' CzechBone network is a major enabler of telecoms and Cable TV services within the Czech Republic" notes Björn Andersson, vice president sales for Transmode. "Transmode's focus on metro and regional WDM solutions has provided SELFservis with a solution that cost effectively scales as their capacity grows. While the Transmode's iWDM Ethernet over WDM technology ensures that the network can provide differentiated services within the Czech Republic."
