Here’s some more information we’ve learned over the years about Coriant

Coriant was established in 2013 as a spin-out company from Siemens Optical Networks, later merging with Sycamore Networks and Tellabs (although GPON and telco components were spun out again at a later date to new company, also named Tellabs) and was acquired by Infinera in 2018. Originating in the Transmission Technology department of Siemens in the 1990s, Coriant’s products have a clearly defined focus on optical and IP technology.

Being part of Infinera, Coriant has emerged as a formidable player in the telecoms network industry worldwide. TXO is one of the leading worldwide suppliers of legacy, used and refurbished Coriant optical and IP network components.

 

Refurbished & new Coriant equipment

Being the world’s local partner for Coriant equipment, we can offer new and refurbished items at prices significantly reduced from their OEM list price. Our huge inventory ensures that we can offer rapid delivery. We very often dispatch parts on the same day a purchase order is received, vastly reducing your network downtime and ensuring your operational stability.

We have an ESD and OEM compliant facility overseen by a team with many years of experience. All components we offer for sale undergo highly diligent and rigorous testing, inspection and repackaging, while also being provided with a comprehensive warranty.

TXO is a world-renowned and accredited partner in the field of used and legacy telecoms equipment. We are affiliated with numerous highly respected international service providers, OEMs and systems integrators. Rely on TXO for efficient and cost effective upgrades or upkeep of your legacy Coriant, Infinera, Sycamore or Tellabs systems.

We’re dedicated to providing environmentally-conscious products and services aligned to our values in promoting the circular economy, all at competitive rates to ensure optimal value for money. Our comprehensive inventory includes components from Nokia, Siemens, Ericsson, Marconi, Alcatel-Lucent/Nokia, Infinera and more. We hold over one million parts on hand and an avenue to another eight million via our brokerage partners, TXO holds and has access to probably the most substantial telecoms network inventory in the world.

 

Coriant compatible optical transceivers

We’re proud to be at the very cutting edge of testing and customising OEM compatible optical transceivers, which extends to Coriant, Sycamore and Tellabs optics and IP technology.

Irrespective of whether you require compatibles for legacy Sycamore and Tellabs networks or the very latest Infinera or Tellabs technology, TXO is able to manufacture and fully test any appropriate compatibles for your network.

All compatible Coriant optical transceivers undergo rigorous testing at our 5000 ft2 lab, furnished with a comprehensive spectrum of telecoms systems such as IP routing and switching, DWDM, SDH and OTN optical transmission, along with GPON access equipment and distance verification.

 

Popular Coriant platforms

As the number 1 alternative to the OEM, TXO is pleased to support our customers with a vast range of platforms from Coriant and its subsidiaries or related entities. We are particularly strong around legacy SDH and MSPP platforms from Siemens, which are still very widely used in networks across the world. Many legacy platforms, particularly from Sycamore and Tellabs, are still supported by the OEM, but some no longer are.

Additionally we can provide shelves configured to your requirements, as well as individual line cards. Our UK based lab is equipped with examples of common platforms such as the (formerly Tellabs) 8600 and 8800, the hiT7025, hiT7030, SL16 and SMA16.

If there is a platform you would like our support with (either to procure it or to have it repaired) but is not on this list, please get in touch as it’s very likely we will still be able to help you with it.

 

Coriant equipment repair

No OEM supports their equipment forever – particularly in the case of Coriant, where they have acquired and inherited platforms from legacy OEMs. This can lead to a significant amount of e-waste, as operators dispose of otherwise perfectly operational equipment as the OEM will not support it. This is also the case with equipment that in theory could be repaired, but the operator cannot find anyone with the knowledge or skill to repair it.

Even then it’s often not cost-effective to have the OEM repair legacy products – in some cases it isn’t even an option. However, at TXO we offer one of the world’s most comprehensive telecom network repair services. We are solely focused on getting your network operational as quickly as possible and reducing your downtime.

We take a number of actions pre-emptively, including but not limited to:

  • Retrofitted modifications; for products that have been identified as having design flaws, we can make modifications to these parts to overcome manufacturer defects, meaning the part will not have to come back in for repair for the same defect again.
  • Advance replacement service; if we hold stock, we will simply swap out the part you send us with one we hold in inventory, meaning you simply have to wait for your new part to arrive – you don’t need to wait for us to repair yours.
  • Proactive component replacement; if we hold stock, we will simply swap out the part you send us with one we hold in inventory, meaning you simply have to wait for your new part to arrive – you don’t need to wait for us to repair yours

In the last year alone we repaired over 12,000 parts. We’ve got a wealth of experience repairing Coriant parts and parts from their related entities, and as such our repair centre can improve the health of your network, reduce downtime and save you money.

Get in touch with TXO for all your telecom network hardware support, supply and repair needs.
