Against the backdrop of falling voice revenues, broadband data services such as high speed Internet access and standard or high definition on demand TV and video services are key to increasing the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) for wireline operators.  Deploying access solutions such as VDSL2+ or FTTx for these high bandwidth services puts requirements for high capacity and low cost on the backhaul network. Meeting these requirements is vital for the commercial viability of the service and the end users’ total quality experience.

Broadband operators and service providers need to maximize the capacity of their existing infrastructure as well as minimize further CAPEX and OPEX associated with it.

Transmode's WDM based solutions provide unparalleled cost efficiency and scalable capacity increases for the backhaul network that connects the IP-DSLAM with the core network and Service POP. Our highly modular and scalable CWDM and DWDM optical networking solutions include single and dual fiber working options that are ideal for the broadband backhaul. Add to that Transmode’s multi-service capabilities which enable us to transport virtually any service type  – SDH/SONET, GbE, Fibre Channel etc – on one single wavelength. For integrated operators offering both fixed and mobile services even E1 and T1 interfaces are supported, thus enabling a shared backhaul infrastructure for both fixed and mobile networks.

Transmode’s unique way of integrating Ethernet functionality into optical networks via our Intelligent WDM (iWDM™) concept enables us to offer Packet Optical transport at exceptionally low cost and with the Layer 2 functionality required for enabling SLA monitoring, bandwidth profiling and QoS. 

Transmode’s passive WDM solution, the TG-Series, is especially designed for the high bandwidth demands in metro and access networks that let service providers cost-effectively offer high bandwidth to their business or residential customers. Designed for both central office and manhole environments, the TG-Series allows the operator to simply and economically push passive CWDM and DWDM deeper into the access network to provide significantly higher bandwidth without the need for additional active units.
