Kathmandu, Nepal - Nokia and WorldLink are upgrading 650-km-long backbone
network with Nokia's 1830 PSS (Photonic Service Switch) DWDM (Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing) technology to support bandwidth-hungry entertainment and
enterprise services across the country. The intercity network stretches from
Kathmandu to Bhairahawa and Birgunj, and provides international connectivity
between Nepal and other countries including India.
WorldLink, the largest fixed broadband operator in the Himalayan country, has
120,000 residential broadband subscribers and 5,000 enterprise broadband
circuits. It is now connecting 10,000 residential Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH)
service subscribers every month, requiring the operator to meet ever-increasing
demand for network capacity. Nokia's optical network technology will allow
WorldLink to flexibly increase its network capacity, reach and density as the
technology is powered by the industry's most programmable chipset, Nokia's
Photonic Service Engine-2 with super coherent technology (PSE-2s).
Samit Jana, CTO, WorldLink, said: "WorldLink has a commitment to Nepal to
transform the communications landscape so that our people and enterprises
thrive. This is our largest project to date and it will allow us to provide
ultra-fast broadband services for our mobile and fixed network subscribers in
cities as well as rural areas across the country."
Sanjay Malik, head of India Market , at Nokia, said: "We are proud to be part of
WorldLink's vision to transform Nepal's communications architecture by providing
the first 100G transport network. Nokia's highly scalable optical platform will
ensure low latency and high resiliency, and allow WorldLink to cost-effectively
increase network capacity as needed."
