China Mobile has chosen Huawei, provider of telecommunication network solutions, to develop an 80×40 G Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) backbone network. The fiber-optic network, when completed, will be upgraded from 10 to 40 G broadband services and will allow China Mobile to offer ultra-broadband services.
China Mobile’s investments in broadband and 3 G services have resulted in a significant enhancement in its traffic that strained its 10 G backbone network. Therefore China Mobile called for bids for the 40G backbone network project. The fiber-optic network project will cover regions in the Yangtze River delta such as Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Shanghai.
The 40 G OTN solution of Huawei includes advanced technologies, such as an OTN bandwidth pool, a very large OTN capacity, and very high 40 G bandwidth. These technologies allow swift installation of networks and effective provisioning of services. Huawei’s OTN solution has an ODUk-SNCP protection mechanism, which functions at the electrical layer to significantly improve the network reliability.
Huawei offers operators all over the world with microwave series, MSTP/Hybrid MSTP, and WDM/OTN products, in addition to end-to-end transport solutions.
