Lebara Group deploys BTI 7000 Solution for Data Center Connectivity; Enterprise leased dark fiber solutions a lucrative opportunity in Europe

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Belfast, UK -- BTI Systems, a global supplier of Intelligent Service Edge solutions for the delivery of high-bandwidth, multi-protocol services, today announced that Lebara Group,Europe's leading provider of high-quality, low-cost international mobile services,has deployed the BTI 7000 series for data center connectivity supporting Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) requirements.

The Lebara Group offers tailored innovative telecommunications solutions so that families, friends and colleagues can keep in touch, both at home & abroad. Lebara has over three million customers across Europe operating as a provider of international wholesale minutes and as a virtual mobile operator (MVNO).

Lebara needed adistributed peering solution for its TDM-based wireless voice switches located in geographically separated data centers. A backup-to-disk (B2D) data resiliency solution for subscriber account information and billing databases over GbE links was also implemented.

Lebara Group is using the BTI 7060 packet optical platform to extend STM-16 links and provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity; the solution has 2 10-port Multiprotocol Muxponder client service modules per site to providing equipment redundancy. The compact 2RU form factor delivers a high capacity, standardized approach for delivery of TDM and data connectivity over 10 G wavelengths. proNX GUI-based element and network management system delivers intuitive and simple network operation, and the rapid connectivity provisioning means bandwidth is readily available.

The BTI solution gave Lebara an alternative to purchasing services from a local service provider. As the cost of fiber is falling rapidly, a dark fiber lease was a more cost-effective strategy. The BTI solution enables a faster response to new bandwidth requirements and more direct control compared to working with a service provider. The existing spare capacity on the initial solution deployment will address the growing demand without additional cost and the ability to leverage additional WDM wavelengths in the future will provide immense capacity to address new service demands as Lebara rolls out new services including mobile and international money transfer, and online content.

Rajeet Nair, Operations Director, Lebara commented, "BTI delivered capacity, scalability, and a cost effective solution that complemented our decision to leverage dark fiber in lieu of lit services." He continued, "Having direct control of a solution that will grow with Lebara's subscriber base as we roll out new and innovative service offerings was essential, and BTI's packet optical networking solution delivers." "Wireless providers continue to innovate and deliver more service capabilities to a growing mobile population" said Bali Ahlawat, Sales Director, BTI. "Our solution will ensure that Lebara's mission-critical operations and customer data is secure today, and address new connectivity requirements as their service portfolio evolves and customer base continues to grow quickly." About BTI Systems BTI Systems addresses increasing demand for Ethernet services, greater optical capacity, dynamic networking, and management simplicity in service provider and enterprise networks. Expanding the capacity of a single fiber up to 320Gbps, BTI's Intelligent Service Edge solutions enable high capacity wavelength and packet-based services such as video, storage, wired data, wireless data and voice, and media to the network edge. Incorporating state-of-the-art technology BTI products are engineered for very low power consumption to reduce carbon footprint in central offices and data centers.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
