Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ('Huawei'), a leader in providing next generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, has been selected by Egypt's largest telecommunications company, Telecom Egypt, to provide Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology.
This technology enables multiple video, audio, and data channels to be transmitted over one fiber and increases the efficiency and bandwidth of networks by supporting different formats. The three year contract will increase the capacity of Telecom Egypt's Cairo network and reduce operating costs while increasing quality of service.
'Emerging demand for advanced, higher-quality communications poses a paradigm-shifting challenge to telephone operators. Originally designed to carry circuit-switched voice traffic, existing networks now need to carry heavy data loads, deliver streaming video, and provide Internet access to a rapidly growing user base.
'The decision to evolve our network is significant and is the result of in-depth research and analysis. Huawei offers industry leading transmission network architecture with its DWDM technology and enable us to give our customers access to new, advanced services while enhancing the security and quality of existing services,' said Dawlat El Badawi, planning vice chairman, Telecom Egypt.
The Huawei DWDM equipment has been applied to over 250 national and inter-city transmission networks. In the Middle East, Huawei DWDM Technologies have been widely adopted in many countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia' Oman, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco.
As a leading supplier in the global optical market providing full set of NMS, DWDM, MSTP, intelligent optical and network solutions, Huawei was named Optical vendor of the Year for the second year running at the 2006 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific ICT Awards. Huawei is devoted to bringing value-added solutions in network programming, technology innovation, and customized solutions to telecom operators globally.
'We are very proud to work with Telecom Egypt to plan and implement the first DWDM national backbone network in the country,' said Thomas Zhu, managing director, Huawei Technologies, Egypt.
