STOCKHOLM -- Transmode, a global supplier of packet-optical networking solutions, today announced that the Swedish Armed Forces will deploy a next generation flexible optical network based on the TM-Series Intelligent WDM (iWDM(TM)) platform. [This press release expands on the statement given on 23rd February in the Year-end report].

The contract was won by Transmode in open public tender from the FMV (Försvarets Materielverk, the Swedish Defence Material Administration). FMV is a governmental authority whose main task is to procure goods and services for the Swedish Armed Forces. This authority needed a new national flexible optical high-speed network with the ability to add and drop multiple wavelengths; Transmode's ROADM solution met this need.

The deployment of Transmode's optical networking products will give the Swedish Armed Forces the functionality and flexibility they require in their fixed national telecommunications network for high bandwidth traffic. The network meets the government's requirements for the capacity, flexibility, scalability and reliability they require today and in the future.
