Maxis to deploy Alcatel-Lucent's 100G optical coherent network solution

Aug 11, 2011

Malaysia’s leading integrated communicaiton solution provider Maxis Berhad will deploy Alcatel-Lucent’s 100 gigabit per second optical coherent network solution. Maxis has decided for the transformation of its core network that will enable the company to meet the increased data traffic. The change into 100G will give more competency to the services by providing enhanced efficiency and simplicity.

The press release from Alcatel-Lucent says the deployment of 100G in the optical backbone networks of Maxis will be the first commercially deployed in the Asia-pacific region. Maxis operates its optical fibre network, covering over 10,000 km of fibre infrastructure, within Peninsular Malaysia with part of the fibre infrastructure delivered through collaborative sharing and swapping.

The press release says that by leveraging on Alcatel-Lucent’s 100G optical coherent network solution, Maxis will be able to address the growing bandwidth requirements and data usage driven by smartphones, tablets, modems and fiber-to-the-premises services, whilst also providing high-speed connectivity and automatic restoration capabilities to enterprises for their data centres and services such as cloud computing and machine-to-machine communications (M2M). Furthermore, the new optical network will enable Maxis to provision services faster and shorten the time to market for new services requiring higher capacities and reliability.

The deployment of this optical network solution transforms the core transmission network. This is like upgrading a normal trunk road to a super highway that allows users to enjoy faster and seamless high capacity connectivity within Peninsular Malaysia.

Maxis Berhad with its consolidated subsidiaries is the leading integrated communications service provider in Malaysia with 14.1 million mobile subscriptions. Maxis’ Malaysian business has been providing a full suite of communication services on multiple platforms to satisfy the needs of individual consumers, small and medium enterprises, and large corporations in Malaysia.

Maxis has pioneered and led the Malaysian market in providing innovative mobile products and services. It was the first to launch 3G services, Maxis3G, in March 2005. In September 2006 it was among the world’s first to use HSDPA, a high-speed upgrade of the 3G network. In December 2009 it was first to introduce to Malaysia, HSPA+, the latest advancement in 3G/HSPA network capabilities, to further enhance its wireless broadband services.

Fiber Optics is Green!

Developed in the 1970s communication systems using optical fibers has revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have been played a leading role in the formation of New Technical Age. Fiber Optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber.

Fiber optics is the leading technology in the field of communication. Fiber has reached to the home finally by realizing the expectations for an unlimited bandwidth. Optical fibers still have unutilized potential for digital transmission. Learn fiber optics will give an edge and keep us updated with the technology. Watching demos, videos and reading more from internet is the cost effective option to learn about Optical fiber technology.
The fiber optic technology uses the light which forms an electromagnetic carrier wave. This will be modulated to carry information.. Optical fibers have clear advantages over other electrical transmission mediums. Optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world and have been making inroads to the developing countries as well.

The communication process using fiber optics involves the following steps: Creation of the optical signal using a transmitter, relaying the signal along the Optical fiber, make sure that the optical signals do not get weakened, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.Optical fibers are eco-friendly and Fiber optic technology is Green!
