Nokia enhances TM ’ s international optical network
Nokia has been selected by TM to build a dedicated international optical Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing ( DWDM ) network – improving the management of growing data traffic and improving data center connectivity .
The new DWDM network will act as an express route for cross-country traffic , connecting the Malaysia-Thailand border to the Malaysia- Singapore border . It will provide hyperconnectivity to the main data centers in Malaysia and a cable landing station to accommodate the exponential growth of data traffic across these countries .
TM will also leverage the Nokia WaveSuite platform to optimize its network and operations .
John Harrington , Senior Vice President and Head of Asia Pacific Sales for Network Infrastructure , Nokia , said : “ Our best-in-class optical solutions will enable TM to provide a sustainable and world-class network experience to its end users in the region . Our technical lab in Malaysia , coupled with local manufacturing of DWDM gear , allows us to ensure the timely and smooth execution of this important project .”
Once completed , the new network will help TM expedite its adoption of AI to leverage automation for enhanced network performance and operations .
Powered by Nokia ’ s fifth-generation super-coherent Photonic Service Engine ( PSE-Vs ), the all-optical network will provide superior transmission performance over long distances , leading to improved capacity , scalability and interoperability while ensuring environmental sustainability through its low energy consumption per bit . By transmitting signals over a single fiber optic cable , TM will be able to efficiently manage the massive volumes of data generated by hyperscalers .
BDx Indonesia launches first phase of Interconnected Internet Exchange ecosystem
