Nokia said that it has been awarded a share of over 30% of China Mobile's project to construct a 100G optical network in support of its rollout 4G network.
The win, part of Nokia's 2016 frame agreement with China Mobile, will see Nokia deploy a 100G Optical Transport Network (OTN) and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) backbone based on the recently announced 1830 PSS-24X packet optical transport system.
This versatile optical platform will help China Mobile deploy services rapidly and provide scalable capacity for a wide range of cloud-based mobile services delivered to its massive 4G subscriber base, said Nokia.
The centerpiece of the network architecture is a four port 100G DWDM line card for the Nokia 1830 PSS-24X. This high density line card leverages the recently announced Photonic Service Engine 2 Compact (PSE-2c), Nokia's low-power 100G-optimized digital signal processor.
