2021: Apollo Solution Selection

On January 14, 2022, Ribbon Communications Inc. announced that IPS, a provider of international communications services for telecom companies, had selected a Ribbon Apollo optical network solution. It will provide support for 100 GB Ethernet (100GbE) technologies distributed through both terrestrial and underwater cables from Manila to Hong Kong and Singapore.

Our ability to freely provide communication services to customers over long distances is the key to the success of our business, "said Koji Miyashita, President and CEO of IPS. - The Ribon Optical Transport Network technology has enabled us to maximize our available throughput and support world-standard data applications with our underwater communications technologies in the South China Sea,

Systems for underwater communication should provide high throughput and provide the highest level of communication services on all channels in order to ensure economic efficiency, "said Mickey Wilf, general manager of ATP and MEA for Ribbon. - Apollo allows IPS to maximize throughput by using two wavelengths with programmable data rate and modulation combined with flexgrid technology.

The solution chosen by IPS uses Apollo TM800 high-performance programmable muxponder boards on Apollo 9600 series platforms to provide long-distance 100GbE.
