Monetisation of utility network for high-capacity wholesale services and business applications across Austria and neighbouring countries

Hanover, Md. - Business Wire, Jul. 27, 2016 eww ITandTEL is upgrading its backbone network and ensuring super-fast connectivity in response to growing demand for IT and telecommunications services in Austria. With Ciena’s® (NYSE: CIEN) packet-optical technology, deployed with Kapsch BusinessCom, eww ITandTEL’s advanced 100G network can support enterprises with internet connectivity, cloud technologies, data centre services and workplace solutions. eww ITandTEL is also upgrading its wholesale carrier service offerings between international exchanges in Vienna and Frankfurt with new high-capacity services.

Key Facts:

  • ITandTEL is the telecommunications division of eww ag, a wide-ranging utility company in Upper-Austria. By broadening its offerings with high-capacity networking services, ITandTEL is extending the eww ag business and monetising its networking infrastructure to tap into new markets and new revenue streams.
  • With this 100G upgrade, eww ITandTEL is strengthening its network core to support its enterprise communication services portfolio, including internet, e-mail services, data backup, security and telephony; as well as adapting to meet escalating demands driven by the surge of cloud computing and video. Enhanced data centre interconnect (DCI) will also underpin eww ITandTEL’s colocation and hosting capabilities from its five data centres.
  • Flexible, long-haul, high-bandwidth connectivity based on Ciena’s 6500 Converged Packet Optical platform allows eww ITandTEL to extend its carrier wholesale services and support internet service providers (ISPs) with high-bandwidth connections and peering through its international and local exchanges.
