InfoRR and 4WNet, two internet providers based in Roraima, Brazil, have chosen Padtec’s DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology to build a new high-availability optical network connecting the cities of Boa Vista and Manaus. The 800-kilometer network, known as Projeto Rizolmar, is designed to enhance internet connectivity across Roraima and Amazonas states. The project features advanced network reconfiguration and monitoring capabilities, including the use of OTDR (Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer) technology to quickly identify and address fiber optic faults.
The new network, implemented on Padtec’s LightPad i6400G platform, includes ROADM (reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer) technology, which allows for flexible capacity upgrades without service interruptions. The network will support high-speed data transmission with dual TMD400G transponders, each with a capacity of 400 Gbps. This investment in modern infrastructure is part of InfoRR’s broader strategy to expand its market reach and provide high-quality internet services to customers in the region.
• InfoRR and 4WNet are building an 800-kilometer DWDM optical network in Northern Brazil.
• The network connects Boa Vista (Roraima) and Manaus (Amazonas) and covers six additional municipalities.
• The project includes advanced network reconfiguration and OTDR capabilities for fault detection.
• Padtec’s technology allows for capacity upgrades without service interruptions.
• The network is part of InfoRR’s strategy to expand and improve internet services in the region.
“With the combination of OTDR and ROADM intelligence and automation resources in a complete DWDM solution, InfoRR now has a highly available and reliable network that will allow it to offer its customers high-quality internet services,” said Argemiro Sousa, Padtec’s Chief Operations Officer for Equipment.
