Cisco® optical networking technology: Vectra S.A., falls in love.

Cisco continues to expand its Portfolio of services and products in Europe. For the first time, Cisco Next-Generation Internet Technology has been chosen by Vectra S.A to deploy a nationwide
fibre-optic broadband network in Poland.

This means that, Vectra’s new network infrastructure will be the platform to deliver high-bandwidth services, including voice, data, personalized video (video on demand) and mobile backhaul, to residential and business customers.

 “Cisco technology has significantly increased the bandwidth capabilities of Vectra’s backbone network for our current and planned services. It is a crucial element of our technology and telco infrastructure based on optical fibre and the main artery for Vectra’s digital services, lowering our digital transmission costs in the long-term perspective.”Said Tomasz Zuranski, president, Vectra S.A.

"Video, broadband and mobile traffic are driving explosive capacity demand across global service provider networks. Cisco's DWDM technology helps operators use their network infrastructure for lower costs and enables them to increase their revenues. We are pleased to work closely with Vectra to help it meet its long-term business objectives."  Said Dariusz Fabiszewski, general manager, Cisco Poland.
