Product Data Sheet
Utility companies, such as gas and electrical energy providers, need
intelligent and flexible telecom solutions to meet their internal demand
and to serve their customers. Telecom solutions involving the transport of
high capacity data, voice, and video are increasingly being added to the
infrastructure of these companies which are responsible for a large part of
the world’s telecommunications.
In this context, utility market is facing new opportunities to modernize
optical networks and also increasing revenues by offering services to third
companies seeking excellence in optical transport.
In taking advantage of an existing infrastructure, utilities can optimize
investments made by sharing the optical network with other companies,
increasing the efficiency of fiber, but also earning with transmission
services, as a carrier-of-carrier.
To contribute to this solution, Padtec offers Optical Transport through
MultiPad MPD-1200 Platform, comprised by an integrated solution for
wavelength conversion and optical amplification
Totally in line with the latest utilities trends, MultiPad MPD-1200 is a
complete and modular system that presents an integrated solution for high
capacity and low latency transport increasing the transmitted distance
with reliability and excellent cost-benefit.
