Baltic Optical Networkers

The fibre-optical, 8000 plus km long, transmission network in which BON operates, consisting of up to 48 cables, covers all the main nodal points of the Baltic region.

The fibre-optical transmission network of BON has been established in one of the most widely-spread and reliable ways – by using high-voltage lines for running cables and by installing intermediate amplifiers to the main substations, which are difficult to access. The whole infrastructure has been built on the principle of the local internal ring systems, which are connected with each other by two double connections, thus forming a cross-regional high-speed ring network. The BON network is only equipped with state of the art equipment supplied by leading producers, therefore it can offer all the required transmission services.

The primary network consists of 48 OPGW optical fibre cables. The SDH network is based on Siemens and Nokia equipment. The transmission capacity of the primary network is STM-16 (2.5 Gbps). Upon customer’s request the STM-16 capacity is divided into STM-4, STM-1, E3, Past T3 and E1. SDH: Siemens, Marconi, Alcatel.

The services and technical resources (passes) are provided to the end users by multi-functional switches and routers of Cisco and Nortel Networks. LAN switches are also connected to the above equipment. Information systems are serviced by a state of the art data centre quipped with more that 80 controllers, specially adapted work stations and 200 processors of 3Tb on-line information storage capacity.
