Huawei to Build China's First 40G Transmission Network

Huawei Technologies has been selected by China Telecom to build China's first 40G WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transmission network between Shanghai and Wuxi.

Under the terms of contract, Huawei will provide China Telecom with an ultra-high-capacity 80 wavelengths x 40G transmission solution capable of 10G/40G hybrid transmission to address China Telecom's ever-increasing Internet bandwidth requirements and to lay a foundation for providing high-bandwidth services.

According to Christian Chua, president of Huawei's Transport Network Product Line, the proliferation of Internet services has put an ever-increasing demand on bandwidth. Huawei will also continue to focus on operators's pressures and challenges.
