Nokia optical networking to help China Mobile achieve "Broadband China" strategy
August 17 2016 - 3:05AM
- Nokia awarded over 30% share of China Mobile's 2016-2017 new
construction of optical network, which will meet the future needs
of mobile subscribers on the world's largest 4G network
- Nokia's innovative 100G optical technologies to help China
Mobile support its "Broadband China" strategy, meet rising mobile
data demands in the cloud era
- Nokia will provide its recently announced flagship
packet-optical transport platform, the Nokia 1830 PSS-24x
BEIJING, Aug. 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nokia has been
awarded over 30% of China Mobile's project to
construct a 100G optical network in support of its rollout of
mobile broadband services for the world's largest 4G network.
Nokia's innovative optical technologies will help China Mobile
achieve its ambitious "Broadband China" strategy.
The win, part of Nokia's 2016 frame agreement with China Mobile,
will see Nokia deploy a 100G Optical Transport Network (OTN) and
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) backbone based
on the recently announced 1830 PSS-24X packet optical transport
system. This versatile optical platform will help China Mobile
deploy services rapidly and provide scalable capacity for a wide
range of cloud-based mobile services delivered to its massive 4G
subscriber base.
The centerpiece of the network architecture is a four port 100G
DWDM line card for the Nokia 1830 PSS-24X. This high density line
card leverages the recently announced Photonic Service Engine 2
Compact (PSE-2c), Nokia's low-power 100G-optimized digital signal
processor. In combination with CFP2 analog coherent pluggable
optics, the line card enables China Mobile to simply and quickly
add optical capacity as needed. This will be a key requirement as
China Mobile rolls out mobile broadband services to satisfy its
customers' increasing and rapidly shifting demands.
Key Facts
- Nokia's optical network expertise will help China Mobile roll
out the world's largest 4G network, with a subscriber base of over
300 million expected.
- This deployment will help China Mobile quickly add optical
capacity, meet rising mobile data demands in the cloud era and
deliver the highest speed and quality to the expanding 4G customer
base.
Mike Wang, head of the joint management team
of Nokia Networks China and Alcatel-Lucent
Shanghai Bell (ASB), said: "This is a crucial win with our
longstanding partner. With our innovative 100G OTN solution, we are
able to help China Mobile meet the higher requirements for
large-scale 4G construction. We are committed to delivering the
latest optical transmission innovations to enable China Mobile to
optimize their networks and open up new opportunities for their
subscribers."
Did You Know? Nokia and China Mobile have been working
together since 1994, when the company supported China Mobile's
first GSM call. As a key member of the Third Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) organization, Nokia helped TD-LTE become a global
standard. Nokia continues to support China Mobile as it delivers on
the country's Internet Plus initiative, which aims to integrate the
Internet with traditional industries to fuel economic growth.
