Private DCI for a Leading National Bank - EMEA

At a Glance

Location: EMEA
Industry: Financial Services
Customer: Mobile operator providing managed services

Background

A leading mobile operator in the EMEA region provides advanced managed connectivity services to enterprise and public sector clients. One of the country’s largest financial institutions required a secure, high-capacity transport network to interconnect multiple data centers while meeting strict compliance and operational continuity requirements.

Challenge

The bank required a resilient Layer-1 optical network linking its headquarters and three remote data centers (in the North, South and Center of the country) with:

• Full redundancy — Diverse paths, fibers, racks, rooms, and hardware
• Future-ready design — To enable HQ relocation
• Layer-1 encryption — Meeting strict compliance requirements

The Solution

To meet their requirements the operator deployed PacketLights PL-2000T 800G transponder with amplification and PL-2000ADS ADM with mux/demux. These facilitated Layer-1 encryption, full redundancy (of paths, devices, and sites), and a modularmodular, cost-effective solution integrating EDFAs & mux/demux, reducing number of units required.

Deployment Highlights

• Turnkey delivery by a leading mobile provider (design to deployment)
• Seamless add-on of new site with minimal redesign
• Modular setup enabling future relocation

Success

PacketLight and the leading mobile provider delivered a resilient, encrypted, and modular DCI solution tailored to the bank’s operational and compliance needs. The result is a scalable private network that supports secure growth and continuous service.
