providers.


Service providers and enterprises in the Netherlands
rely on reliable and cost-effective connectivity services to succeed. Ciena’s
Carrier Ethernet Solutions offer UNET the tools needed to support the ambitions
of its growing customer base, including a low-touch approach for quickly
delivering new services and guaranteed service quality agreements,” Ger Bakker

OPEX reduction versus traditional architectures and addresses the scaling
limitations of UNET’s existing network infrastructure while protecting past
investments.


Our Carrier Ethernet architecture will enable UNET to
transition to a service-centric network and achieve new levels of capacity,
differentiation, operational scalability, and reliability with its business
services. UNET can now optimise all aspects of the service lifecycle,
accelerate time to revenue, and increase profitability and competitiveness,”
