Vívaro Telecom Selects Fujitsu for Next-Generation DWDM Network for US

Fujitsu Network Communications announced that Vívaro Telecom has selected the 1FINITY™ platform for a greenfield, next-generation DWDM network deployment in Texas to enhance high-speed data services between the U.S. and Mexico. The open, modular platform offers scalable 400G wavelengths to support the ever-increasing bandwidth needs of today’s applications, including those that support remote working.

Vívaro Telecom (formerly Marcatel) brings more than 50 years’ experience to the international delivery of telecommunications, IT solutions, cybersecurity services and high-capacity services, operating ultra-low latency metropolitan and long-distance fiber optic networks and data centers. The new network, which will operate between Dallas and McAllen, Texas, is the latest Vívaro Telecom network to be deployed in the U.S.

The next-generation ROADM network will include 1FINITY Lambda blades, as well as 1FINITY T700 transport blades, the newest addition to the 1FINITY platform capable of delivering up to 1.6 Tbps capacity per blade. With next-generation colorless, directionless ROADM technology and Flex-grid functionality, the 1FINITY platform delivers the ultimate flexibility, reliability and spectral efficiency. Plus, Vívaro Telecom can manage both the new network and their existing infrastructure with the Virtuora® NC software-defined network (SDN) solution.

“As we strive to connect our carrier and business customers to the most important data centers in the U.S., this new deployment will ensure that our network delivers optimal performance today, and well into the future,” said Gustavo M. de la Garza Flores, chief executive officer, Vívaro. “Working with Fujitsu provides the peace of mind that we are making a smart investment.”

“Based on our history of successful deployments and fast product lead times from Fujitsu, we know that the 1FINITY platform is the best choice for our network, delivering performance, scalability and efficiency in a small footprint,” said Isaías Alegría, director of technology, Vívaro Telecom.
