RETN, a leading Russian wholesale telecom carrier, has chosen the Infinera Digital Optical Networking system for the modernisation and upgrade of its national backbone network, and for the construction of a new Pan-European transmission ring. The Infinera DTN system will enable RETN to increase total network capacity and provide its customers with a broad range of services including IP, MPLS, SDH and managed wavelength services. RETN is a wholesale carrier specialising in connectivity within
Russia and between major international traffic exchange points. The company provides data and IP-based services to more than 200 communication operators in
Russia, Europe, North America, and
Asia. The RETN network was founded in 2002 by a group of alternative carriers in
Russia. Today the company has on-network locations in most of the major markets in Europe and the east coast of the
USA. RETN's business is about delivering high quality, competitive communications services to their customers. The underlying transmission network needs to be able to support those services without adding cost and complexity to the service provisioning process. RETN was pleasantly surprised at the ease of deployment and speed of new service activation with the Infinera equipment, made possible by Infinera's Bandwidth Virtualisation. RETN has ambitious plans for network expansion. The company is planning for three- to fourfold growth in network capacity over the next two years. That growth is expected to come from domestic services within
Russia, as well as international services in Europe, Asia and the
Americas.
