Etisalat, Huawei Complete 400G Optical Transport Network Trial

Huawei, together with Etisalat, today announced the first successful trial of its new OSN9800 U16 and 400G technology on a commercially available optical transport network (OTN) in UAE. Huawei said that the 400G technology will expand the network capacity to meet the increasing bandwidth requirements for both fixed-line and mobile broadband services, including delivering the IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) content and suporting LTE-Advanced mobile connectivity.

Etisalat has earlier partnered with Huawei to conduct trials of the 5th Generation (5G) mobile broadband services in the Middle East, as well as signing an agreement to trial the 40Gbps GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks) fiber network.

With Huawei’s 400G technology, Etisalat’s existing network asset has proven its capability of supporting future, next-generation transmission technology, and are fully committed to enhancing our ability to support traffic growth demand from our customers."

Esmaeel Alhammadi, Vice President of Network Development, Etisalat

Both Huawei and Etisalat share a vision of enabling a better connected world for our regional customers. Through our latest partnership on the 400G OTN trial, we have set the stage for increasing access to the modern information society with intelligent management capabilities."
