Transport networking vendor, Coriant said that it has deployed a new national backbone network with coherent DWDM, MPLS-TP, and service management technologies for the Ministry of Communications of Turkmenistan in Central Asia.
Based on the Coriant hiT 7300 Multi-Haul Transport Platform and the Coriant 7090 Packet Transport Platform, the new packet optical transport backbone network connects all the major cities of Turkmenistan, with cross-border transit provided via terrestrial LH/ULH and subsea transmission links.
According to Coriant, the new network deployment supports growing demand for backbone capacity driven by high-bandwidth end-user services and applications, including LTE, mobile backhaul, e-government, Data Center Interconnect (DCI), and residential Internet access.
The company claims that the hiT 7300 can achieve a total system capacity of up to 9.6 Tbps per fiber pair via 96 x 100G channels, and is designed to support up to 25.6 Tbps when using advanced flexi-rate, flexi-grid, and super-channel capabilities powered by Coriant CloudWave Optics.
