ZHONE Technologies, Inc. (www.zhone.com), a global leader in FTTx network access solutions, said Telecom Namibia (TN), headquartered in Windhoek, Namibia, will deploy Zhone's MXK and several additional Zhone services to provide its customers with advanced voice and broadband services.
TN, which currently serves more than 145,000 customers, runs the largest digital telecommunications network in Namibia. TN will use Zhone's MXK solution to implement Active Fiber and Copper Access solutions to renovate and update its telecommunications infrastructure.
TN has launched aa project to introduce Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-To-The-Building/Basement (FTTB) technologies into its network in order to offer innovative and cost effective broadband services to its residential and business customers in Namibia. The company turned to Zhone with hopes of providing fiber and copper-based access solutions to 150,000 lines over the next three years.
TN aims to replace its existing voice and data systems by using Zhone's MXK ubiquitous Access Solution, providing GPON, Active Ethernet in addition to ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface), to migrate all existing voice services into a nationwide IMS solution (IP Multimedia Subsystem). This allows seamless integration of mobile and fixed networks into the existing copper-based network. The operator will also consolidate its mobile backhaul solutions and time-division multiplexing (TDM) Leased Lines over an MXK Access System, for advanced broadband performance.
"Because Telecom Namibia, the biggest operator in Namibia, is a customer-driven company, it is important to provide bandwidth and multi-service solutions that meet customer demands," said Ramy Abdallah, Africa Regional Director at Zhone Technologies. "MXK has provided Telecom Namibia with a wide variety of services and media support. It has allowed a seamless migration from existing legacy systems to a full IP based access solution, while also enabling Telecom Namibia to still handle its current legacy services."
In addition to GPON and Active Ethernet, Zhone's MXK will also provide TN with POTS, ISDN BRI, ADSL2+, VDSL2, G.SHDSL.bis with EFM capabilities.
