Promitel installed an STM-16 SDH backbone network with seven main nodes in Barranquilla and five main nodes in Cartagena. For the access, Promitel chose RAD's Last Mile solution offered by Colombian distributor Pro-cibernetica, due to RAD's experience, quality of the network management system, flexibility of the solution and price.
Promitel deployed 20 LRS-24™ modem racks filled with dual FOMi-40™ and FOMi-E1/T1™ modem cards with V.35 and E1 interfaces at the nodes, and fully manageable, standalone FOMi-40 and FOMi-E1/T1 fiber optic modems at the remote sites. "The modular products are very easy to upgrade," says Ing. Alfredo Zu?iga, Technical Manager at Promitel (Alfredo.Zuniga@promitel.com). The RADview-HPOV™ UNIX-based network management system is used to configure, control and monitor the network.
