Alestra, a Mexican leader in information technology and communications, once again revolutionizes the industry by pairing its strengths and infrastructure to Alcatel-Lucent technology in order to bring to the market a unique broadband offering with speeds of up to 400 Gigabits per second (Gbps). Alestra’s new network has no parallel in capacity and service in Latin America to allow the company to deal with the growing need of the corporate sector as a result of the evolution of cloud services.
Today companies are generating valuable information in large quantities and demand greater scalability, robustness and high speed networks. True to its commitment to respond disruptively to market demands, Alestra found in Alcatel-Lucent’s optical technology the right solution to optimize its installed base. And as a result of the technological relationship between Alcatel-Lucent and Alestra the first ultra-broadband network of optical fiber in Latin America emerges, with speeds up to 400 Gigabits per second, offering Mexican companies the highest speed and capacity for the optimal performance of their day to day operations.
The flexible Alestra network, based on Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) platform, is able to offer unmatched capacity and speed with channels of 400 Gigabits per second, as was demonstrated in recent tests conducted in the company’s live network in Mexico. This is the first time that transmitting the equivalent of 50,000 HD videos and over 6 millions of phone calls simultaneously in a Latin America network is achieved.
“Once again Alestra revolutionizes ICTs optimizing our network to provide the most innovative solutions of Telecommunications and Informatics to the Mexican market. With the deployment of Alestra network leveraging Alcatel-Lucent technology, once again reinforce our offer and our commitment to the industry, making us the first supplier on the continent able to provide businesses with the best value proposition in terms of bandwidth,” said Alejandro Irigoyen, Director of Operations and Systems Alestra.
“The DWDM solution based on the 1830 PSS provides Alestra greater efficiency, flexibility and the scalability required to continue to innovate and lead in corporate services in the Mexican market. With this new network, Alestra will deliver services of up to 400 Gbps between two points on the network, providing greater capabilities in its transport services at the same time that it ensures the successful evolution to cloud services,” said Freddy Turriaf, Commercial Director of Alcatel-Lucent in Mexico.
The new Alestra network enables the company to deal with the growing demand for its network of data centers, cloud services and managed communications solutions. it also allows it to anticipate and successfully respond to the increase in data traffic generated by the proliferation of mobile devices, bringing to a large number of companies from different sectors the tools to foster their growth.
