Nokia and Viettel roll out high-capacity optical network after achieving 1.2Tb/s optics transmission speed record in Vietnam
Nokia today announced that Vietnam’s largest service provider, Viettel will use its optical transport solution to cost-effectively address the ever-growing demand for 5G and Data Center Interconnect (DCI), consumer data consumption, and cross-border connectivity. The deployment follows the successful trial of Nokia’s PSE-6s with Viettel, which set an optics transmission speed record of 1.2Tb/s per wavelength in a real-world environment. The deployment, to be completed in 2025, will be used to connect Viettel’s data centers in key metropolitan areas such as Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, enabling the service provider to increase capacity while enhancing energy efficiency.
“The smooth execution of the record-breaking trial convinced us that Nokia was the right partner for this crucial initiative. Now, we are delighted with the seamless deployment of Nokia’s innovative PSE-6 super-coherent optical engine, which will provide the required capacity for our existing and growing needs while making us ready for 5G and cloud-based use cases.”
