2022: Using Ribbon Solutions

On February 11, 2022 Ribbon Communications , Inc. announced that the NamPower electrical power company Namibia had used Ribbon's optical portfolio for its The GridOnline project. For operators throughout The to the country GridOnline, it provides a reliable, comprehensive, high-throughput backbone network, both internally and countries internationally.

{{quote 'This is an important project not only for us, but more for Namibia as a whole - it provides telecom operators and wholesale providers high-bandwidth networks for fast and secure transmission, "said dataHelgo Müller, head of telecommunications and NamPower control. - Strategically, when it comes to communications infrastructure, NamPower and in turn Namibia play an important role for the entire South region, Africa with direct access to highways throughout the country, underwater as optical cables well as neighbouring landlocked countries. The Ribbon and NamPower teams were able to develop a whole network with additional parameters. Despite serious limitations in the era, we pandemics have reached heights that we can be proud of. }}

NamPower it was important that the solution offer programmable optical capabilities for IP networks in order to use its network to provide high throughput. The network was fully implemented in 2021. It combines the Ribbon 400G ZR + and 200G communication channels in Apollo optical transport solutions with Neptune IP systems through DWDM. The interactive Muse tool allows NamPower to perform offline network planning and modeling to optimize resource utilization.
