A few international news bytes before the long weekend:
GNM has expanded its network into Hungary. The pan-European network operator has added a new PoP in Budapest within the Dataplex. The new PoP is connected to GNMs hubs in Bratislava and Sofia, and is part of GNM’s plans for additional expansion in central Europe. GNM’s footprint now stretches some 18,000km.
NetIX has expanded its footprint in the UK. The internet exchange provider has partnered with Telehouse to create a primary PoP in in the London Docklands campus at Telehouse North. From the new PoP NetIX will also be able to provide access to the backbone of its parent company Neterra. Based in Bulgaria, NetIX has been expanding its presence in the busy FLAP markets.
Ciena had two bits of interesting news this week. In India, Tejays has picked Ciena’s coherent routing solutions to modernize its IP backbone. They hope to converge their 4G/5G fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul networks onto common infrastructure. Meanwhile in northern Europe, Telia Norway and Ciena have demonstrated a 1.6Tbps connection between Oslo and Trondheim, spanning 656km and passing through seven ROADMs.
And Nokia has picked up a last mile technology deal in southeast Asia. Cambodia’s Cellcard will be using Nokia’s gear to upgrade from GPON to XGS-PON. The upgrade will enable Cellcard to meet existing bandwidth demand, and also prepare a path to 25G PON when the time comes.
