Empowering Connectivity: Ribbon's Advanced Network for HTM EENet

On January 27, 2025, Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN) announced the implementation of a state-of-the-art managed optical network for Estonia's HTM EENet, a network managed by the Ministry of Education and Research. This introduction marks a significant upgrade in network infrastructure, empowering educational and research initiatives with robust connectivity.

Key Benefits of the New Optical Network

The deployment of Ribbon's cutting-edge technology aims to facilitate sophisticated academic and scientific collaboration across Europe. As Aivo Riisenberg, head of the technical management department at the Ministry of Education and Research, states, "Introducing high-tech infrastructure and deepening collaboration with international research communities requires a complex and modern network. Ribbon has delivered this timely solution, enabling us to continue our critical work."

Ribbon's optical networks feature exceptional flexibility, supporting diverse wavelengths from 100 Gbps to 1.2 Tbps while incorporating first-layer optical encryption. This ensures secure data transmission which is crucial for sensitive educational and research data. Moreover, the open line system (OLS) can accommodate external wavelengths and shared spectra, enhancing the network's adaptability.

The integration of Ribbon's Muse multi-layer automation platform (Muse MAP) further maximizes the value of the IP optical network investments. This platform provides comprehensive management, analysis, design, and planning applications, ensuring efficiency in network operations.

Strengthening the REN Community

Christian Erbe, the EMEA Sales Director at Ribbon, expressed his enthusiasm about meeting the needs of the Research and Education Networking community. "Our next-generation infrastructure technology solutions fit the REN community's demands perfectly. We are pleased to rapidly achieve the greater bandwidth, speed, and usability demanded by HTM EENet."
