Oslo, Norway - July 07, 2022 - Smartoptics, a leading provider of optical
networking solutions, today announced that PT Abhinawa Sumberdaya Asia
("Abhinawa"), a premium internet exchange provider based in Indonesia, has
chosen Smartoptics for connecting its data centers. The Smartoptics open line
system solution is 400G-ready, providing the flexibility and performance
required for the vast Indonesian DWDM market.
Abhinawa provides premium routing solutions for OTT service providers to reach
their Indonesian users. As in other parts of the world, trends such as the
rollout of 5G have been driving increased demand for more bandwidth and
connectivity. In this context, the internet exchange upgraded to the Smartoptics
DCP-M open line system and pluggable 100G transceivers to achieve improved
performance and cost efficiency for its DCI.
"When comparing all the available options, Smartoptics stood out for its
capability to carry high density traffic with minimal latency. We also felt that
Smartoptics was better at understanding our needs, which proved advantageous
both in our initial discussions and for ongoing support. When the units arrived,
we were impressed with the small form factor and the plug-and-play installation,
while the unit is ready for 4 Tbps. The DCP-M provided the easiest provisioning
we've ever seen with DWDM. We look forward to additional deployments and
continuing collaboration in the future," says Bambang Wibowo, CEO of Abhinawa.
Indonesia is spread out over many islands, making long-range DWDM in high demand
for interconnecting the vast country. In this context, deployment of Smartoptics
open line systems in Indonesia is expected to increase. One of the reasons is
support for an easy upgrade path to 400G.
"Our open line systems give internet exchanges the scalability to easily add
additional 100G channels and to make the leap to 400G by simply adding 400G
capable transceivers. We are proud that Abhinawa has chosen us, demonstrating to
the substantial, Indonesian market the benefits of our optical networking
solutions. This signals increased diversification and broadening of our customer
base," says Magnus Grenfeldt, CEO Smartoptics.
