On July 22, Philippines-based fiber broadband and technology provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. announced that it will be leveraging Ribbon Communications Inc.’s Apollo optical networking system. Converge reports that this will optimize data transmission across its backbone network.
Converge reports that Ribbon’s 5nm-140Gbaud transmission chipset will expand its fiber network capacity from 800 Gbps to 1.2 Tbps per channel. Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy said the technology will allow Converge to meet the increasing demand for large-scale capacity.
“Ribbon’s solution surpasses our stringent requirements for this overlay on our existing backbone, enabling us to set a new standard for innovation,” said Uy in a press release. “This new technology will bring our customers unprecedented speed and high bandwidth availability amid the growing demand for data-intensive applications.”
In addition to the 5-nm chipset, Converge also reports that it is implementing Ribbon’s Muse SDN Domain Orchestration.
Ribbon chief operating officer and executive vice president Sam Bucci said in the same press release, “We’re thrilled to deepen our relationship with Converge ICT with this major new deployment. Coupled with our technology, our local presence and proven round-the-clock after-sales support are key factors in our ability to support Converge ICT as they ramp their network to meet increasing demands for capacity.”
