Network service providers often have to deal with increasing demands for network space. While this is a good thing for business, it can take a heavy toll on the available infrastructure of the service providers.

 

So in response, Broadview Networks, one such service provider, has opted for the Fiber Driver optical multi-service platform from MRV Communications to increase the bandwidth on its backbone network.

The Fiber Driver will help Broadview Networks (News - Alert) to expand its network and 10 Gigabit (10G) Ethernet migration.

 

Broadview has now witnessed a significant increase in its data traffic because of the success of Broadview's OfficeSuite hosted IP telephony service and MPLS-based data services. The company implemented the Fiber Driver on its regional networks in Boston, New York and Philadelphia to increase the bandwidth on its backbone network.

 

"With growing user interest in bandwidth-intensive services such as online video and cloud-based solutions, carriers need to have a network that can evolve to meet the varying bandwidth demands that these new services bring," said Noam Lotan, chief executive officer of MRV Communications (News - Alert). "By implementing the Fiber Driver platform, Broadview Networks now has a flexible DWDM network offering the bandwidth and flexibility it needs to serve its customers."

 

With the help of the Fiber Driver network, Broadview will get the ability to move cost-effectively to a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) network. To help it maintain high uptime and to quickly reconfigure its network to meet customer needs, Broadview uses MRV's Megavision network management software. Broadview Networks is a network-based business communications provider known for its ability to deliver complete voice and data services.
