Networking technology specialist BATM Advanced Communications Limited (LSE:BVC) has upgraded its network traffic switching platform's capabilities.
In response to the ever-growing appetite for more bandwidth, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Telco Systems, has added 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) capabilities to its switching platform solutions.
Ethernet is the industry standard wired networking technology, and by providing 100GE capabilities Telco Systems will help service providers to reduce both operational and capital expenditure, BATM said.
Telco Systems' new 100GE platforms use the industry-leading QSFP28 technology, which brings lowest cost per bandwidth, and will allow service providers to gradually phase out the legacy dark fibre WDM-based transport layer.
“Our approach to 100GE access overcomes the drawbacks of alternative attempts to expand access and will help meet the ever-increasing demand for more bandwidth and the constant need to reduce total cost of ownership," said Zvi Marom, chief executive officer of BATM.
