Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Submarine Cable System’s trans-Egypt terrestrial network has deployed Infinera DTN-X platform, providing multi-terabit capacity and network services.
The Infinera Intelligent Transport Network, featuring the DTN-X packet optical transport networking platform, will allow MENA to manage costs as it scales network capacity.
MENA, a subsidiary of Orascom Telecom Media and Technology, owns and operates a submarine network connecting Europe to the Middle East and Southeast Asia, providing wholesale capacity to networks via Asia and the Middle East.
The deployment of Infinera Intelligent Transport Network enables MENA to provide wholesale carriers with a range of connectivity services from STM-1 to 100 gigabit per second (Gb/s) and terabit capacity.
Ahmed Khalaf, managing director of MENA, said: “The solution’s OTN switching capability provides the ability to offer our customers terabit capacity immediately upon deployment and the scalability realized from this network enables MENA to use time as a weapon to offer wholesale customers top-notch services.”
