Alcatel has announced that it has successfully completed the deployment of a metropolitan network for Global Crossing  in Paris, France. The new network interconnects to Global Crossing’s core transport infrastructure, which links Paris to nearly 600 major cities, 60 countries and six continents around the globe.

The solution is based on the Alcatel 1692 Metrospan Edge coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) 10 Gbit/s platform.
