Huawei Deploys Industry's Longest 40G Commercial Transport Network

Huawei Technologies announced that it has successfully deployed the industry's longest 40G commercial transport network for TransTeleCom (TTC).

The solution uses Huawei's patented SuperWDM technologies to achieve ultra-long haul transmission without electrical regeneration at distances of over 1,500 km. Furthermore, Huawei's 40G transport solution can be upgraded from 10G to 40G without any platform replacement, providing new services 75% faster than previously possible.

"Even today telecom operators are faced with the problem of having insufficient capacity on their backbone transport networks," said Evgeniy Zhukov, head of optical network group of Huawei products and solutions department. Zhukov adds, presently the most viable solution is the 40G transfer technologies which can increase the capacity and efficiency of existing DWDM systems.
