Chinese telecom maker ZTE bags 100G OTN contract from RCom

New Delhi: ZTE has bagged a new 100G optical transportation network (OTN) contract from Reliance Communications.

Under the contract, ZTE will provide 100G optical transportation network design, engineering, installation, and operations and maintenance services to Reliance Communications India in Pune and Hyderabad during the next three years.

The gear maker will also provide its ZXONE series of equipment to satisfy the multi-service access and high integration requirements of Reliance Communications India. ZTE said that its low total cost of ownership (TCO) wad one of the major factors in Reliance Communications India’s decision to partner with the company

Currently occupying 14.35 percent of Indian market share, Reliance Communications India is the fourth largest operator in India. With mobile networks entering the age of long term evolution (LTE), Reliance Communications India’s synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) was not able to meet growing data communication demands. ZTE’s 100G OTN solution allows Reliance Communications India to quickly develop Pune and Hyderabad’s 100G metro area transmissions and greatly relieve long-term evolution (LTE) bandwidth requirement pressures.

ZTE said that its OTN research and development platform and 100G OTN products satisfy Reliance Communications India’s requirements with their high performance, easy maintenance and low cost.
