Epsilon Telecommunications, a global operator of voice and data connectivity solutions for service and carrier providers, which also provides network management and maintenance, system integration and colocation services, has announced an upgrade to its Singapore metro network to provide complete service and wavelength flexibility at all of its co-location facilities.
It will also support the growing demand for packet, optical and wavelength services in the Malaysian, Indonesian, Singaporean, and Hong Kong markets.
Epsilon is deploying BTI Systems dynamic optical layer, which will allow fast delivery of improved connectivity services between important Southeast Asia regional telecom hubs. The company has over 60 point-of-presence sites that provide Ethernet, IP, co-location, SDH, and value added services through its interconnect platform, which is carrier-neutral. The Singapore metro network currently has a fixed 40-channel optical layer. Epsilon is upgrading it to the dynamic optical layer, so that the Singapore network can serve as a rapid and flexible interconnect platform and support customers in other countries.
In August 2011, BTI Systems had launched the dynamic optical layer in the market. The offering was an endeavor to create application-aware service infrastructures of high-capacity for the metro. The company had partnered with Epsilon to define the interconnect requirements. The Epsilon dynamic optical layer comprises DWDM line amplifier modules and ROADM-on-a-Blade with an intelligent control system that facilitates monitoring and adjustment of the optical layers to meet varying demands.
Epsilon's Singapore global network operations hub is providing rapid interconnecting services through the dynamic optical layer.
