dtac picks Nokia to revamp end-to-end transport and IP core network to prepare for Carrier SDN
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* dtac will be the first mobile operator in Thailand to deploy a Software
Defined Network (SDN)-ready IP/DWDM Core to support increased bandwidth
demand
* Network will eventually deliver ultra-broadband mobile access to more than
40 percent of the Thai population.
9 November 2016
Espoo, Finland - dtac, part of the Telenor Group and the second largest mobile
operator in Thailand, has selected the flagship products in Nokia's IP/Optical
portfolio to bolster its backbone network, becoming the first mobile operator in
Thailand to implement a software-defined network (SDN)-ready IP/Optical network.
The network will eventually deliver ultra-broadband mobile access to more than
40 percent of Thailand's population.
The number of mobile subscribers in Thailand is increasing rapidly, stimulating
greater demand for advanced networks to support surging data consumption. dtac
needed a core network to handle the increased data demand, but also with the
open interfaces and the programmability necessary to support a migration to SDN.
Nokia products, including the 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS) and the 1830
Photonic Service Switch (PSS), will replace dtac's existing IP core routing and
Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) infrastructure to provide the capacity
and capabilities required to efficiently address growth in demand, and lay the
foundation for an SDN infrastructure. The deployment also includes Nokia's
security gateway for dtac's LTE network. Combined, these platforms ensure that
dtac is well positioned to meet customer bandwidth requirements into the future
while improving network flexibility and reliability.
Prathet Tankuranun, Chief Technology Officer, Total Access Communication PLC
(dtac), said: "Over the last two years we've seen demand for mobile broadband
grow exponentially. As we prepare for future advanced technologies we've made a
strategic choice for an SDN-ready IP/Optical network because it gives us the
control and agility needed to run an efficient network that can rapidly adjust
to evolving demand patterns. This deployment with Nokia is an important next
step in our migration towards full SDN automation."
Sebastien Laurent, head of Nokia Thailand, said: "Deploying Nokia's end-to-end
IP/DWDM Core solution provides the foundation for an SDN-centric network and
will allow dtac to implement on-demand services while also easing operation and
maintenance demands. Deploying this technology will make dtac the first carrier
in Thailand positioned to implement carrier SDN in preparation for the cloud
era."
Key Facts:
* The Nokia 7950 XRS supports open interfaces that SDN WAN controllers can use
to program the network through mechanisms such as OpenFlow, NETCONF/YANG,
PCE-P or BGP/LS.
* The Nokia 1830 PSS brings programmability to optical transport with the
agility of touchless CDC-F wavelength routing and the world's first truly
programmable coherent interface, the Photonic Service Engine 2 with Super
Coherent technology.
* dtac is also deploying Nokia's Wavelength Routing Engine GMPLS (Generalized
Multiprotocol Label Switching) Control Plane at the optical layer to provide
automated network operation with the highest level of service protection for
maximum reliability.
* Also included in the 1830 PSS is an integrated optical time-domain
reflectometry (OTDR) card which provides enhanced troubleshooting
capabilities.
