Utah service provider CentraCom will partner with MRV Communications to build a 100-Gbps packet-optical transport network for its metro and rural customers. CentraCom provides phone, cable TV, Internet, mobile backhaul, business VPN, and wholesale telecom services to much of central, northern, and western Utah.

MRV will support the "entire packet metro network end-to-end," says Kevin Arthur, CentraCom's vice president of network operations. This support will include MRV's Pro-Vision® service orchestration platform, which includes a graphical representation of service quality and SLA compliance. CentraCom will use the service orchestration platform to enable a variety of network elements, including MRV's OptiPacket metro service edge platform; OptiSwitch Carrier Ethernet 2.0 service demarcation and first mile aggregation platform; and OptiDriver optical transport platform for intelligent ROADM networks and 100G transport.
