Polish network operator Sitel has reportedly selected Sorrento Networks' GigaMux 3200 DWDM platform to deliver broadband services throughout the south of Poland. Denver, CO-based Sorrento Networks said it has now partnered with Solutions for Technology (S4 Tech) for the purpose of carrying out the deal it landed with Sitel.

Sorrento’s GigaMux optical transport product adds bandwidth to Sitel’s network enabling the telecom carrier to offer more services to the customers and earn more revenue.

For Sorrento, the deal helps to expand its footprint in Poland. And the deal with Sitel includes installation and long-term maintenance.

As part of the project, Sorrento and S4Tech have started constructing a 575km long backbone fiber-optic network from Warsaw to Ostrava to provide backhaul broadband services and connectivity to telecommunications carriers and internet service providers.

“This partnership is exciting because Sorrento is expanding into Poland, and we're also thrilled to work with S4Tech to deliver cost-effective WDM solutions to Sitel and its customers,” said Jim Nevelle, CEO of Sorrento Networks.

Sorrento’s platform will enable Sitel to increase the network range from SDH to GigaBit Ethernet to 10G circuits. Sitel is also offering alien wavelengths to allow customers to manage their own wavelength division multiplexing networks.

“Sorrento's solution provides the flexibility we need to deliver a broad range of cost-effective services to our customers,” said Artur Paruzel, director of Sitel. “The GigaMux 3200 will allow us to expand our customer base and grow our company into new European markets.”

“In implementing the system and with the easy and flexible way to integrate our customers we can become more competitive in the Polish market. Our sale of services has increased by 10 percent in the first three offering months,” said Marcin Gocejna, sales director of Sitel.
