Nov, 2001 : Nortel to Deploy Optical Backbone for China Mobile
📅 - Nortel Networks (nortelnetworks.com) has been awarded contracts valued at approximately US$18 million to provide Optical Long Haul backbone networks for China Mobile (chinamobile.com), the largest mobileoperator in the People's Republic of China and one of the largest in theworld. Already serving approximately 100 million GSM wireless subscribers,China Mobile plans to use the increased speed and capacity that these newoptical backbones will provide to address growing demand for high-speedmobile Internet services and e-commere applications.
With nearly 30 years of operating experience in Greater China, NortelNetworks has won contracts estimated to be worth more than US$1.2 billionsince the start of 2001 from customers such as China Mobile. Nortel Networksis also investing in China to deliver key next generation networkingsolutions, and its comprehensive R&D facilities in Beijing are expected toplay an important role in developing new technologies.
"These wins continue our momentum in providing high-performance Optical LongHaul technology in China and the rest of the world," said Robert Mao, CEO,Nortel Networks China. "Nortel Networks is taking optics everywhere - fromthe network core, through the metropolitan area and to the enterprisedesktop," Mao said. "We are positioning service providers such as ChinaMobile to unleash the profit potential of their networks by reducingoperational and capital costs; adding new, potentially revenue-generatingservices; and increasing the speed at which these new services can beoffered."
China Mobile plans to deploy Nortel Networks OPTera Long Haul 1600 OpticalLine Systems in Zhejiang and Hubei Provinces. Nortel Networks OPTera ConnectDX will also be used in these provinces, as well as in Nanning, the capitalcity of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. China Mobile will deployNortel Networks OPTera Metro 4200 Multiservice Platform in Luzhou, SichuanProvince and Hubei Province. Nortel Networks OPTera Long Haul 1600 OpticalLine Systems use dense wavelength division multiplexing technology, whichmaximizes optical fiber capacity by splitting light into as many as 160channels, allowing more data to be carried across the Internet backbone.DWDM facilitates multi-terabit systems with high-bandwidth receivers andelectronic circuits.
Nortel Networks has worked with China Mobile over the last decade to buildGSM networks in eight provinces: Hebei, Shaanxi, Tianjin, Xinjiang, Guizhou,Anhui, Liaoning and Hunan. Nortel Networks systems in these provincessupport 9.6 million China Mobile subscribers. In 2001, Nortel Networks hasannounced US$265 million in new GSM business with China Mobile.
Nortel Networks has announced more than 30 10-gigabit and DWDM opticalcontracts in China. Nortel Networks was the No. 1 provider of WDM solutionsin China for the first half of 2001, according to RHK, a telecommunicationsresearch firm. Worldwide, Nortel Networks has more than 750 opticalcustomers.
