International Gateway (IGC), a subsidiary of ALT Telecom, has selected Nokia’s next-generation optical transport solution to modernise its existing DWDM network, which connects the East region of Thailand to Cambodia and the South region to Malaysia.
Powered by Nokia’s latest generation Photonic Service Engine (PSE) chipset, the upgraded network will be capable of transmitting 400G per wavelength, enabling IGC to more effectively manage booming traffic demands while ensuring superior data centre connectivity for its customers.
Upon deployment in Bangkok and in the East and South regions, Nokia’s Data Centre Interconnect (DCI) solution will enable IGC to cost-effectively meet requirements for a high-capacity, robust network as consumer data demand surges.
Pichit Satapattayanont, CEO of IGC, said that the solution, which is based on coherent technology, will help IGC satisfy their hyperscale customers by providing superior connectivity from the Cambodian border to the Malaysian border.
“We are pleased with the timely and seamless completion of the project and look forward to strengthening our partnership and collaboration with Nokia in the future,” said the CEO.
Ajay Sharma, head of network infrastructure sales at Nokia SEA North, said their DWDM optical network solution is designed to help service providers cost-effectively enhance network capacity and build resilience while reducing their energy consumption.
