Swiss Utility Deploys Cisco ONS 15300 series multiservice optical platforms

The regional power utility company (Centralschweizerische Kraftwerke) serving the Swiss Canton of Lucerne is deploying Cisco ONS 15300 series multiservice optical platforms to create a single network between power stations, remote offices and its central headquarters. The new network will carry switched Layer 2 Ethernet traffic between sites as well as consolidate traditional PBX voice traffic over a single multiservice optical network using SDH as a transport protocol. The utility is using Cisco ONS 15302 MSPPs in its remote locations, with traffic aggregated at central hubs using Cisco ONS 15305 MSPPs. The utility has already deployed Cisco Catalyst 6500 series and Catalyst 3550 series switches to form the core of its internal LAN network. Dimension Data serves as integrator for the project. Financial terms were not disclosed.
