Rural Communication and Broadband Service Providers
Find the most efficient way to upgrade your regional backbone network capacity and break free from vendor lock-in with cost-effective, flexible and easy-to-use open optical networking solutions.
The freedom to grow at your pace
Many optical networking solutions are designed with tier 1 service providers in mind. They may be more powerful – and expensive – than you need. As bandwidth needs in your backbone network increase, you need a solution that gives you the freedom to upgrade bit rates and mix and match network elements from multiple vendors. This is the key to being prepared for future changes and ensuring cost efficiency over time, both now and in the future.
Break free from vendor lock-in and be flexible with open solutions. Upgrade to 400G and run low-cost 100G with zero licensing fees. Easy-to-use and future-proof open line systems, ROADMs, muxponders, optics with long reach, and management software empower disaggregated networking. We also offer active/passive solutions for back-hauling broadband networks and 5G. All to help you build your regional network more flexibly than ever before with the best possible cost efficiency.
