LambdaNet Germany Wins Deal

HANOVER, GERMANY -- LambdaNet Communications, a provider of telecommunications and Internet services in Germany and Europe, today announced that it has been awarded a three-year contract to provide the Handelsblatt Group, the leading business and finance media company in Germany, with a 34 Mbit/s Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) data link connecting the group’s offices in Dusseldorf with its Mainpost affiliate’s offices in Wurzburg.

By opting for the MPLS-based data service, which runs on LambdaNet’s Lambda-Net-Data-Link product, the Handelsblatt Group has chosen a cost-effective solution that enables it to transmit print data between Dusseldorf and Wurzburg at flexible rates up to 34 Mbit/s and with a high degree of reliability and data integrity. The service is charged according to a usage-based tariff model, a demand-oriented, cost-optimized method that takes into account fluctuations in the publishing group’s data traffic.

“With LambdaNet-Data-Link we were able to offer the Handelsblatt Group a solution with flexible bandwidth provisioning aligned with its specific needs and requirements. This, coupled with a volume-based billing model, means that they only pay for the actual bandwidth they use,” explains Stefan Krüger, Board Member at LambdaNet Communications Deutschland AG.

Says Bernd Hornig, head of the Handelsblatt Group’s IT Infrastructure department: “Given the extreme fluctuations in our data volumes, LambdaNet’s tailored network solution gives us a cost-effective means of streamlining communication with our affiliate.”
