Xtera NXT 20 Gbit/s Differential Phase Shift Key (DPSK) Technology Selected by GlobeNet
The NXT system offers advanced monitoring capabilities that support rapid system responses to faults, reduces power consumption, provides higher reliability sealed clam-shell circuit packs, and is NEBS Zone-4 earthquake compliant. GlobeNet is utilizing the Xtera technology as part of its submarine network capacity upgrade to 360 Gbps, which will be completed by August 2009.
“End users across South America are driving innovation and demand for Internet-based products and services. This demand spans countries, segments, and sectors, requiring carriers and ISPs to upgrade existing network infrastructure,” said Erick Contag, Chief Operating Officer, GlobeNet. “GlobeNet is uniquely positioned to deliver the capacity required to enable carriers to meet this market need, and with Xtera‘s leading-edge 20 Gbit/s technology we are able to maximize the capacity of our network. No other carrier’s carrier can match our International submarine system in terms of latency, reliability, redundancy or number of on-net locations we can provide throughout Brazil,” added Contag.
“We were delighted to have been selected by GlobeNet to deploy the 20G DPSK technology as part of its submarine network upgrade,” said Jon Hopper, CEO, Xtera Communications. “The supplier and equipment standards required were demanding but the benefits and innovation delivered by Xtera's technology and highly skilled resources met all the critical criteria established to win this important project,” added Hopper.
