Menara Picked for 10G in Iraq

March 14, 2013 |
DALLAS and SULAYMANIA, Iraq -- Menara Networks, a vertically integrated provider of IP/Ethernet DWDM transport solutions that greatly simplify optical networking, today announces that IQ Networks, a leading facility-based fiber Internet Service Provider in Iraq, has selected Menara Networks transponder-less DWDM solution to build a state-of-the-art national 10 Gbps IP over DWDM network in Iraq.

IQ Networks will use Menara Networks award winning and patented “System-in-a-Module” Tunable OTN XFP transceivers for complete DWDM transponder replacement thus saving cost, space, and power consumption. Menara’s small form factor MSA compliant pluggable modules offer complete high performance optical networking functions including integrated ITU-T G.709 OTU-2 framing, OTN alarms and performance monitoring processing, Forward Error Correction for OSNR gain, automatic receiver threshold adaptation and SBS suppression for up to 2,000 km transmission.

“IQ Networks is building a state of the art, purpose-built IP/MPLS network in Iraq and the region. We were looking for an architecture that not only simplifies our operations but also one that places our IP/MPLS nodes at the center of the network rather than a client to the transmission layer,” observes Martin, IQ Networks CEO. “We have diligently evaluated all the DWDM options available in the market place today and concluded that Menara’s innovative OTN “System-in-a-Module” provide all the necessary performance and management capabilities without burdening our network with the high cost, foot-print and power consumption that plague the transponder based architecture.”
