World’s first 1.6Tbps per wavelength technology trial on an optical transport network completed by Etisalat by e& and Huawei.
Touted as the first major industry milestone in the ultra-high-speed optical industry(wavelength technology trial), Huawei with Etisalat by e& to provide the most advanced and robust network in UAE.
etisalat by e& is now fully prepared for transmission technologies towards 100T network platform further empowering wavelength technology trial.
The UAE telecommunication major with Huawei to enable hyperscale cloud computing and accelerate the 10 Giga UAE Initiative that involves providing 10 Gbps connectivity to individuals, homes, and enterprises.
Khalid Murshed, Chief Technology & Information Officer, Etisalat by e&, said: “We are committed to delivering a premium experience to our customers and are excited to bring this latest optical technology to the UAE. The 1.6Tbps innovation is a result of our focus on delivering outstanding customer experiences. This is part of our network transformation journey to provide one of the fastest and energy-efficient connectivity for hyperscale computing while also surpassing customer expectations by providing superior experience.”
“We enjoyed working with Etisalat by e& to complete the joint trial of 1.6Tbps optical solution”, said Victor Zhou, President of Huawei’s Optical Transmission Domain. “Huawei will continue to carry out technological innovation and research to provide Etisalat by e& towards 100T network, support Etisalat improve user experience, and create greater business value”
The 1.6Tbps per wavelength technology tested by Etisalat by e& in collaboration with Huawei is part of its efforts to provide the most advanced and robust network in UAE.
Specifically, it demonstrates the capability of 1.6Tbps on DC-centric OSN 9800 Kepler platform will not only address the growing demand of capacity from cloud-based business services, enhanced home broadband and 5G services, but also reduce the per-Gbit power consumption by 65% compared to current industry platforms, laying a solid foundation for modern digitalization and environment-friendly future.
