PacketExchange, the internet peering innovator, and Transmode, a supplier of optical networking systems, have announced that PacketExchange has selected Transmode's TM-Series platform for its London Metro WDM upgrade. Transmode will deploy a 7 node CWDM Metro ring for PacketExchange to replace its existing London WDM system.  This new platform will support protected and unprotected Gigabit Ethernet services in addition to SDH and other network capacity requirements. PacketExchange's network upgrade increases network resilience and availability for its UK customer base of over 600, whilst also increasing the flexibility of the network for future additional capacity.  In addition the project consolidates the traffic from the two London networks following the successful acquisition of XchangePoint earlier this year. The Transmode Double Dual Gigabit Ethernet Transponder provides up to four client circuits over 2 wavelengths in an industry leading form-factor, in addition to advanced functionality such as optical protection, in-band management and performance and utilization monitoring.
