TIM Brasil Picks Coriant for Long Haul DWDM

Telecom Italia Mobile Brasil (TIM) will deploy the Coriant hiT 7300 Multi-Haul Transport Platform. Coriant said its hiT 7300 was selected due to its flexibility, stability and per-channel transmission capacities. TIM ranks as the second largest mobile telecommunications provider in Brazil covering 94 percent of urban geographies with over 74 million customers.

"Our Coriant team has been working with TIM Brazil since 2008 and we are pleased to continue to strengthen our relationship. In the near future we expect that the network will carry as much traffic as a small city at times. Our hiT 7300 solution will enable virtually unlimited capacity growth with seamless scalability," stated Roberto Cepparotti, Vice President, Customer Operations Telecom Italia Global for Coriant.
