ADVA Optical Networking has announced that Northwest Open Access Network (NoaNet) has deployed its 100G Core technology to meet fierce bandwidth growth across Washington State.
John Scherzinger, VP, North America Sales, ADVA Optical Networking, said, NoaNet has seen first-hand how technology can change lives, how it can help to drive education, improve healthcare and increase business opportunities. For 10 years, we have partnered NoaNet on this journey and its migration to 100G is an exceptional culmination of belief, effort and determination. With every day, NoaNet is helping to close the digital divide in Washington state and push Internet access to more and more people. We are committed to helping NoaNet take this even further.
"We first started working with the team at ADVA Optical Networking almost 10 years ago. During this time, our network has scaled from 10G to 40G – and now 100G. Our network now extends over thousands of miles of fiber and what is key about ADVA Optical Networking's 100G technology is its reach. With this technology, we are able to provide services to rural communities that rival or exceed what is available in metro areas," said Rob Kopp, CTO, NoaNet.
The deployment of the ADVA 100G solution was partly supported by stimulus funding from the Broadband Technology Opportunities Programme to provide services to underserved communities.
