Background

Fibre-optic cable networks are the main ‘virtual’ arteries of modern telecommunications and the Internet. For over 20 years, GasLINE has been one of the most effective and efficient providers of dark fibre infrastructure in Germany, with its own fibre-optic network which spans more than 25,000 kilometers as well as plans for new deployment of over 4,000 kilometer expansion by 2020.

From dark fibre as dedicated leased lines to tailor-made wavelength and Ethernet Layer 2 services with up to 200 GE bandwidth (OptiNET product range), GasLINE offers telecommunication providers, Internet Service Providers, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and other service providers, utilities, public organizations, and the enterprise segment a range of bespoke network solutions. These solutions provide modern, reliable, and scalable network services, designed specifically for the needs of wholesale, public, and enterprise markets.

Challenges

GasLINE has a wealth of fiber optic resources and a nationwide backbone. Bandwidth leasing and fast data transmission on their own network routes enable customers to optimize their productivity and to speed up data transmission. With the explosive growth of bandwidth demands, GasLINE faces the following market requirements:

  • Explosive demand for bandwidth to be matched by network capacity

  • Reliable, fast, and secure data transmission and Internet connectivity

    • Other obstacles existed regarding the economics and customers of GasLINE:

  • Rapid business growth creates an urgent need to increase bandwidth in a scalable manner

  • The need to guarantee future IT evolution with state-of-the-art network equipment

    • Solution

    Huawei is the No. 1 Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) solution provider in the world and provides WDM solutions with high bandwidth, high reliability, and efficient Operations and Maintenance (O&M).



    Product portfolio:

  • Huawei OSN 1800/8800 supports multi-service access, such as GE, 10 GE, and 100 GE.

  • Huawei OSN 1800/8800 supports 10G + 100G hybrid transmission and smooth upgrades.

  • Huawei OSN 1800 II supports 80-channel 100G with only 2U height.

  • The Intelligent Network Management System (NMS) implements unified network management, improving network O&M efficiency.

    • Benefits

    GasLINE now experiences advantages both on the network operating side and for the users:

  • Huawei OSN 8800 supports GasLINE’s DWDM platform and the operations of the Layer-2 network products.

  • The OSN 8800 supports smooth evolution to a 200 GE, 96-channel system to meet the increasing demand for the subsequent bandwidth for GasLINE’s customers.

  • The OSN 1800 II is only 2U, which reduces equipment room space and Operating Expenses (OPEX).

  • The NMS for End-to-End (E2E) services facilitates the management and operation of the GasLINE Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform on the dark fibre network.
