Huawei to Deploy DWDM for Mediacom

Huawei has selected by Mediacom Communications to deploy Next-Generation Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (NG-DWDM) transport across over 4000km of Mediacom's backbone network through the states of Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. Under the agreement,Huawei will provide Mediacom with its OSN6800A NG-WDM platform utilizing the latest in optical technologies with multi-degree ROADM, tunable optics, and OTN cross-connects. The network solution will support 10/40G and future 100G wavelengths to competitively deliver advanced, high bandwidth services today and well into the future.Greg Euker, Director of IP Networks, Mediacom, said “Huawei's dedicated support resources, understanding of our network requirements and ability to meet our aggressive project delivery dates were key factors in selecting them as our partner for this project,”.

As part of Huawei's All-IP convergence strategy, the OSN6800 is a platform based on OTN (Optical Transport Network) and ASON (Automatically Switched Optical Network) architecture. This product helps operators to deal with rapid increases in traffic and fast network expansion challenges in a highly scalable and protocol agnostic platform.
