Adrian Sunderland, CTO at Griffin, said:

"The new network will break even in less than a year, and years two and three will have only small incremental costs, rather than continued exponential costs as capacity grows. Additionally, we wanted total control over our whole network in order to ensure the most reliable solution for our customers.

Our previous design meant we had to scale the number of fibres as traffic grew. Working with the Transmode optical network we can now massively increase the amount of traffic that we can carry on each and every fibre in the network.

We needed to be able to scale our network to give us more flexible growth options. Working with Transmode, we are now also able to enter new markets with Ethernet Wavelength services. While Griffin is experienced in all aspects of data networking, Transmode’s optical networking expertise and training capabilities are equally important as we move our business to the next growth phase."
