OTEGLOBE Expands with Infinera DTN-X platform

OTEGLOBE, a leading international telecommunications carrier in Southeastern Europe and member of OTE Group, is expanding its European backbone network with the Infinera DTN-X platform. The carrier recently signed an agreement to land a new international submarine cable system, named AAE-1, at its international landing station at Chania, Crete, aimed to transform Greece into a major European Internet gateway to the Middle East and North Africa regions and beyond.

“Our goal is to become the alternative hub in the Mediterranean for the continuously increasing Europe to Asia transit traffic,” said Mr. Andreou, OTEGLOBE’s CEO. “To address this increasing demand, we deployed Infinera's solution which enables us to enhance the scalability of our backbone with one solution from the Mediterranean to the core of Europe.”

“We are pleased to continue to upgrade OTEGLOBE's network,” said Chris Champion, senior vice president, EMEA at Infinera. “With the Infinera Intelligent Transport Network, OTEGLOBE has doubled network capacity and provided increased capacity to its customers at the optical layer. This is a direct result of the deployment of super-channel FlexROADM technology unique to Infinera.”
