DZS (Nasdaq: DZSI), a global leader of access, optical and
cloud-controlled software-defined solutions, today announced that
Somtel, a leading telecommunications service provider based in
Hargeisa, Somaliland and subsidiary of Dahabshiil, a global finance
organization, is deploying DZS Saber compact and environmentally
hardened coherent optics solutions to future-proof its dense wave
division multiplexing (DWDM) backbone network for reliable,
cost-effective delivery of high-bandwidth aggregation and transport
services. Somtel’s network spans numerous cities across the Somali
region and passes all network traffic types—mobile and fixed,
consumer and enterprise.
“Somtel is pleased to partner with DZS to transform the
reliability and performance, as well as the economics and future
scalability of our DWDM backhaul network,” said Abdirashid Duale,
Group CEO, Dahabshiil. “We approached DZS because their hardened
coherent optics systems have proven to be highly reliable in
extreme dusty and heat conditions for our partner Somaliland Cable
over several years. DZS Saber Optical EDGE systems are the only
solutions available in the market that give us hundreds of Gigabits
per second (Gbps) of bandwidth point-to-point DWDM per wavelength
in a hardened form factor. Additionally, as we add more sites, move
to 5G, and begin deploying fiber to the home (FTTH) and other
advanced services, DZS provides us with compact and scalable
solutions today that we can easily expand in place to handle
Terabits per second of transport capacity at a fraction of the cost
of traditional datacenter-optimized transport systems.”
Reliability and stability are critical in Somtel’s middle-mile
fiber network, which uses point-to-point DWDM to backhaul all of
its telecommunications traffic from various citywide aggregation
points to the core in Mogadishu, Somalia. Failures and performance
limitations would directly impact customer experience and
ultimately revenues. DZS has met this challenge head-on with its
DZS Saber innovation, contributing to Somtel’s success as one of
the region’s fastest growing telecommunications service
providers.
Going forward, Somtel will be among the first service providers
in Africa to deploy the new DZS Saber 4400 platform, the next leap
in innovation in DZS coherent optics solutions. A first-of-its-kind
hardened, modular, coherent optical metro and edge transport
solution, the DZS Saber 4400 delivers up to 400 Gbps per wavelength
and supports the industry’s smallest form factor multi-degree CDC
Flex-Grid ROADM capability. As Somtel continues to grow in traffic,
scale, and reach, DZS Optical EDGE solutions stand ready to meet
the challenge.
“The optical EDGE space is rapidly transitioning to bringing
optical transport technologies to the edge of the network around
the world, but in places like the Somali region with extreme
weather and limited infrastructure, these requirements are already
present,” said Charlie Vogt, CEO, DZS. “Somtel is deploying our
environmentally hardened coherent optics solutions in some of the
most challenging weather environments on the globe to deliver
ultra-high performance, ultra-reliable and future-ready middle-mile
services around the Horn of Africa. We are proud to be a key
enabler of their success and see them as a great example for other
regions of the world like the U.S. which is rapidly expanding fiber
into rural areas that hardened coherent optics can be
transformational in enabling carriers to achieve fast growth and
rapid network scale. With our new DZS Saber 4400 now part of their
go-forward plans, Somtel will have the flexibility to add CDC
Flex-Grid ROADM functionality as modules in their transport
solutions, providing them with significantly enhanced opportunities
to add new services and monetize their network.”
For service providers looking to streamline their end-to-end
network performance, initiate multi-service, multi-haul transport
upgrades, deliver remote connectivity, or deploy fiber-deep
architectures, the new DZS Saber 4400 platform and associated
module options redefine the economics of coherent optical metro and
edge transport, enabling operators to avoid costs and complexities
around environmental management in existing or new cabinets. This
makes the DZS Saber 4400 ideal for cost-effective transformation of
optical network infrastructure to meet emerging hyper-speed edge
traffic demands and deliver differentiating services to consumers
and businesses in not only the Horn of Africa, but across the
continent, the Middle East, and around the world.
