Troy Cablevison Inc has installed
Optelian’s MPX-9110 100Gbps
platform in its fiber network,
providing FTTH and FTTB services
to Alabama.
The network covers six counties
across the south east of the
state, connecting Montgomery,
Troy, Dothan, and the markets
in between. Troy Cable funded
the network enhancement with
an award from the Broadband
Technology
Opportunities
Program (BTOP).
Optelian says the addition of its
100G LightGAIN optical transport
and
reconfigurable
optical
add/drop multiplexer (ROADM)
technologies will enable Troy
Cable to support the expected
jump in bandwidth demand via
a low-latency, high capacity fiber
backbone. It also will support
such advanced services as
alternate disaster recovery and
scalable offsite storage, as well
as providing greater reliability
through the creation of diverse
network paths.
“This 100G enhancement to
our network delivers a major
expansion throughout the region,”
explains Conley Freeman, CTO of
Troy Cable.
“Never before has there been a
contiguous network from Dothan
to Montgomery. In delivering this
critical inaugural connection, we
wanted a high capacity platform
that would allow us to easily scale,
but still efficiently use, our fiber.”
