TM has decided to build an international optical Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network for improving the management of data traffic and improving data center connectivity.
TM will use Nokia’s DWDM solution to effectively support massive increments in data traffic and fulfill the demand for cloud-based real-time and low-latency services and applications by its hyperscaler customers.
The investment in new DWDM network will act as an express route for cross-country traffic, connecting the Malaysia-Thailand border to the Malaysia-Singapore border. It will provide hyperconnectivity to the main data centers in Malaysia and a cable landing station to accommodate the growth of data traffic across these countries.
The new network will help TM expedite its adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to leverage automation for enhanced network performance and operations.
The all-optical network, powered by Nokia’s fifth-generation super-coherent Photonic Service Engine (PSE-Vs), will provide better transmission performance over long distances for ensuring more capacity, scalability and interoperability.
TM will be able to efficiently manage the massive volumes of data generated by hyperscalers by transmitting signals over a single fiber optic cable.
TM will use Nokia WaveSuite platform to optimize its network and operations while monetizing its network assets through the service enablement application.
“Our technical lab in Malaysia, coupled with local manufacturing of DWDM gear, allows us to ensure the smooth execution of this important project,” John Harrington, Senior Vice President and Head of Asia Pacific Sales for Network Infrastructure at Nokia, said.
