C&W Networks, owned subsidiary of C&W Communications has deployed the Coriant mTera Universal Transport Platform in its Pan-Caribbean network to optimize its network backbone for current and future high-speed service demands and simplify multiservice bandwidth management.

The Coriant mTera solution enables C&W Networks to aggregate and groom diverse traffic types on a compact, scalable, and converged platform. 

The C&W Networks subsea network optimization project using the Coriant mTera solution will be implemented in multiple phases, with initial deployment at core sites in Colombia, Curaçao, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, and the United States. First phase deployment includes support for protected 100Gbit/s services, Ethernet aggregation and legacy SDH migration applications.

To simplify capacity provisioning and efficiently manage service bandwidth, C&W Networks is using the Coriant Transcend Chorus Transport Network Management System (TNMS).

The mTera UTP is a flexible multiservice transport solution that supports software-defined Universal Transport & Switching for OTN, Carrier Ethernet, MPLS-TP, and SONET/SDH in a single, power-efficient system architecture.

C&W Networks is a wholesale telecommunications service provider that offers broadband, IP capacity and a growing portfolio of managed services and integrated solutions to global, regional and local telecom carriers, TV cable companies, Internet Service Providers and Network Integrators.
