STOCKHOLM, Sweden, and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - 17th of June 2009 - Transmode, a leading provider of optical networking solutions, today announced the deployment of an optical network for Taiwan Fixed Network (TFN). The network is based on Transmode's Intelligent WDM (iWDM(TM)) solutions.

TFN, a national telecommunications carrier and part of Taiwan Mobile Co. (TWN), has deployed Transmode's TM-Series iWDM optical networking platform to enable the delivery of reliable, high-capacity transport services in its national optical network infrastructure which is used for fixed as well as for mobile traffic. The network operator had identified the need to expand their existing infrastructure and sought a company whose products were flexible, easy to implement and cost effective.

"TFN/TWM is happy with the systems supplied by Transmode / Opnet, which have improved our connectivity and operations," said Dallar Hung, Principal Engineer, System Design Division, Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd.

TFN chose Transmode's TM-Series platform after rigorous testing where flexibility was the key selection criterion. TFN's network team worked with Transmode and Opnet Technologies, a local specialist in access networks, to rollout a cost effective, robust and scalable solution.

Cecilia Yang, Opnet's sales manager on the project, said "We are delighted to have worked with TFN to provide them with Transmode's iWDM solution as it has exceeded our customer's expectations from a technical as well as from a financial point of view."

Paul Joseph, Transmode's Sales Manager in Asia commented "The growth rate and demand for broadband in Asia is tremendous. This deployment is an example of how Transmode's iWDM equipment can maximize the use of an existing optical networking infrastructure to help an operator cost effectively increase its service levels to meet this growing demand."
