TelCove, which operates fiber-optic networks in 50 markets across the eastern U.S., is activating a new metro and intercity Ethernet service with Fujitsu Network Communications’ FLASHWAVE 4000 Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs) as a key transport component. TelCove’s Metropolitan Ethernet Transport service leverages the existing SONET network to provide 10/100Base-TX and Gigabit Ethernet services. The Ethernet over SONET (EoS) capabilities of the FLASHWAVE 4000 MSPPs allow TelCove to utilize existing network capacity and provide these advanced services without requiring wholesale changes to their embedded network or existing operating procedures. Nationwide deployment of the FLASHWAVE 4500 core transport system and FLASHWAVE 4100 optical access platform to support these new data applications has already begun.
TelCove’s SONET infrastructure already includes Fujitsu’s FLASHWAVE 4300 MSPP. http://www.fujitsu.com/us/telecomhttp://www.telcove.com
