Digiweb Selects BTI Systems to Connect High-Capacity Network

November 16, 2011 – 11:26 am

Ireland’s leading independent telecoms operator deploys solutions from BTI Systems to replace core network and extend service reach.

Digiweb, Ireland’s leading independent telecom operator, today announced a significant upgrade of its infrastructure, having replaced its Dublin data centre backbone network with packet optical networking solutions from BTI Systems, the networking company that creates high-capacity application-aware service infrastructures for the metro. Digiweb, the largest Irish-owned telecoms operator, provides Carrier Ethernet, MPLS, broadband voice and data services to a network of government, corporate and residential customers throughout Ireland.

Driven by the need for a flexible platform to deliver SDH, TDM and Ethernet-based services, Digiweb selected the BTI Systems 7000 Series, as the multi-service packet optical networking platform, along with the 10-port Multiprotocol Muxponder (10-port MXP) and Dual 10G Multiprotocol Transponder (10G DTPR). Together, these combine WDM capacity and regional reach extension with optical service delivery, integrated Carrier Ethernet switching capabilities and service aggregation for various protocols onto high-capacity wavelengths in one platform.

With dense fibre coverage throughout Dublin, Digiweb now has dedicated fibre channels and wavelength management on one platform, avoiding the capital expenditure that would have been required to augment its fibre network infrastructure, and ensuring available network bandwidth and fibre capacity. The BTI Systems 7000 Series provides convergence of the service layer with the optical and transport layer, simplifying the network, providing scalable wavelength and Ethernet service capacity and giving Digiweb the foundation to build a robust, cost-effective and agile metro services infrastructure.

“We chose BTI Systems because the products are flexible and cost-effective, which are both necessary to help us establish a network that will allow to us scale,” said Alan Weadick, Head of Networks and Voice for Digiweb. “The ability to work alongside the engineering team in-country at BTI Systems’ development centre in Belfast ensured we would meet our goal of ensuring the high-capacity backbone necessary to deliver a broader range of innovative services for our customers. This scalability coupled with our fibre assets gives us the assurance that the network can scale to the terabit level required to serve our customers into the future.”

“This is a key win for BTI Systems, not only because we are replacing competing equipment, but also because it is another example of our ongoing commitment to the European market and our ability to solve network challenges across the region,” said VP of EMEA Sales for BTI Systems, Jim Crum. “Digiweb is our first customer in Ireland, but it has the same challenges network operators face around the globe – dealing with a highly-competitive market and shifting customer demands – so having a network platform like the 7000 Series that can scale without requiring major operational investments is a key building block to a more profitable business.”

Digiweb wins €70,000 broadband deal with Applegreen

September 9, 2011 – 10:49 am

Leading broadband and telecoms provider Digiweb has secured a two-year deal worth more than €70,000 with service station network Applegreen. The deal will see a 20Mbps and 40Mbps LAN connect three new motorway service stations located at Castlebellingham, Lusk and Enfield.

The geographic locations of the stations meant they were deemed almost impossible for any operators to provide efficient connectivity. Digiweb’s network flexibility enabled the delivery of cutting-edge bandwidth to the client’s remote locations.

Digiweb’s custom-built, point-to-point broadband connection provides the motorway service areas with a 20Mbps link between the three locations for business-critical applications. Following this, Digiweb built a LAN extension from the northbound stations across to the southbound stations.

The Digiweb solution enables Applegreen to expand beyond just processing card payments. The solution delivers CCTV, internet kiosks, POS operations and stock management communication between both the northbound and southbound stations. This is important for the company in order to offer value-added services that improve customer satisfaction and business operation.

High emphasis on business-efficient technologies

Applegreen places high priority on technologies that improve business efficiency and staff productivity, while also reducing operational costs and improving the customer experience. The high-speed connection adds to the overall customer experience at the service stations.

The motorway service areas offer high-speed refuelling, free parking, plus comprehensive food and recreational areas, all with easy access on and off the motorways.

“Our high-speed connection and secured LAN extension will add considerably to the Applegreen customer experience with faster transactions and better information sharing between branch locations and headquarters, helping increase customer satisfaction and drive sales,” said Fintan Lawler, sales director, Digiweb.
