Telindus, Spain\u2019s leading ICT integrator, is managing the deployment and maintenance of the network. The Infinera network will enable Retegal to deliver broadband, radio, and television services throughout the region, and extend broadband services throughout Galicia in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">Retegal is playing a key role in the regional government\u2019s broadband plan and is supported with a budget of 32 million Euros ($46 million) to extend broadband access to more than 786,000 citizens in the self-governing region. Galicia is located in the northwestern corner of Spain and includes many coastal fishing villages and inland agricultural communities previously unserved with broadband services. Retegal operates as an \u201copen access\u201d wholesale network, providing services on an open and equal basis to all private operators such as last-mile service providers. Increased broadband access will play a key role in bringing new jobs and services to the region. The total investment of the Galicia regional government in the regional broadband program is more than 81 million Euros ($117 million), while total public and private investment in Retegal is more than 221 million Euros ($320 million).<\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">With an Infinera ATN network for the optical transport infrastructure, Retegal benefits from a flexible, scalable WDM transport solution designed to offer a broad range of services, including Ethernet, SAN, SONET\/SDH, OTN and video services. Retegal was a lead customer for ATN Release 2.0 which offers a number of new capabilities including multiservice aggregation to 10Gb\/s wavelengths and fully automated optical power management. This year, Retegal is planning to extend the network to more than 1,800 kilometers of total network reach.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"spip\">\u201cThe Infinera solution enables our network to respond to customer demands with a network architecture that provides all the requirements for enabling next generation services,\u201d commented Jose Angel Abeal, Managing Director of Retegal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">Telindus deployed the network for Retegal and is providing network monitoring and first-line maintenance. \u201cInfinera\u2019s latest generation of optical networking systems are the best option for telecom operators seeking to simplify their network management and offer value-added services to their customers.
