As the demands for voice, data, video and cloud services increase within its network, Shentel a regional U.S. telecommunications service provider, has deeply committed to update its dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) fiber-optic network.

As usual, Cisco's Coherent DWDM technology has been chosen to
support 100 Gigabit per second speeds to its subscribers throughout Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.

This means:

·        Cisco ASR 9000 Series router will provide resilient high-speed IP services.

·        The optimized network provides a variety of on-demand 100G services, including seamless 10G or 100G hand-off.

·        Meet a customer's demand for bandwidth.

·        The company's highly flexible and scalable new Multi-Degree Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (MD-ROADM) DWDM 100G networks can be expanded further into its Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland markets.

Connectikpeople may recall that, since the first deployment in 2010, Shentel has been upgrading its Cisco7600 network to the ASR 9000. The Cisco ASR 9000 will serve as the foundation for next-generation Carrier Ethernet networks, providing up to 96 terabits (Tbps) per system.
