PARIS -- Cablenet Communication Systems Ltd., a telecommunications service provider in the Republic of Cyprus, has purchased equipment from Ekinops to maximize the capacity of its optical network. The deployed solution allows bidirectional transport over a single optical fiber, optimizing Cablenet’s fiber infrastructure.

Ekinops, a leading supplier of next-generation optical equipment, has provided Cablenet with the Ekinops 360 optical transport platform, which enables WDM – Wavelength Division Multiplexing – to increase the amount of traffic over a single fiber. Most optical transport systems require two fibers for transmission of optical data, whereas the Ekinops 360 transport system gives service providers the choice of single or dual fiber transport. Ekinops provides one of the highest capacity single fiber transport capabilities in the industry.

Cablenet, which began as a cable TV provider in 2003, moved into fixed telephony and Internet access services, and by 2007 had launched the first triple-play package in its market. Now, thanks to investment in both international capacity and domestic networks, Cablenet offers high-bandwidth and other innovative services to residential consumers and businesses.
