Coriant solution enhances broadband services of Frontier Communications
Best-in-Class Packet Optical Transport Technology to Improve Connectivity Services for Residential, Business, and Wholesale Customers
Coriant announces that Frontier Communications Corporation will deploy its technology to modernize its fiber-optic transport infrastructure across Connecticut. The Coriant solution will enable Frontier to enhance broadband services for its residential, business, and wholesale customers while improving network scalability, functionality, and efficiency.
The statewide network upgrade, scheduled for completion in the second half of 2017, will span more than 100 Point-of-Presence sites and include transmission speeds from 10G to 100G. The Coriant solution includes the Coriant mTera Universal Transport Platform and Coriant 7100 Packet Optical Transport Platform, as well as the Coriant Transcend Software Suite, with the goal of improving service resiliency, simplifying operations, and supporting fast provisioning of high-capacity services.
Coriant's integrated packet optical solution will give Frontier a robust suite of advanced technologies to cost-efficiently scale and manage broadband service capacity from the network edge to the optical core. These technologies include universal switching, Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (ROADM), and end-to-end service programmability, automation, and management enabled by the Coriant Transcen Software Suite.
"We are excited to be working with Frontier to enhance the performance of its optical network to ensure a superior customer experience," said Richard Miller, Managing Director, North America, Coriant. "Our high-capacity, low-latency solution is a perfect fit for Frontier's needs, and is fully optimized for the high-bandwidth services and applications driving network transformation, including enterprise cloud, IoT, and ultra-high-definition video streaming."
