France : Alcatel-Lucent and DTAC upgrading optical network in Thailand to pave the way for ultra-broadband 4G LTE services [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) DTAC, one of Thailand s largest mobile operators, has chosen Alcatel-Lucent Agile Optical Networking to upgrade its existing 3G network and lay the foundation for a 4G LTE network that will eventually deliver ultra-broadband mobile access to more than 40 percent of the Thai population. Deployment of the 100 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) optical network is already under way in Bangkok, the Thai capital and a major regional financial hub, with expansion to other parts of Thailand to continue throughout 2014. Thailand currently has more than 93 million mobile subscribers approximately 1.3 mobile devices for everyone in its total population of 68.4 million people. Along with the addressing annual domestic data subscriber growth of 17% in 2013, the new DTAC network will also be able to handle the large number of tourists visiting Thailand, generating even more data traffic. Key Facts: DTAC is deploying Alcatel-Lucent s 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) converged Wave Division Multiplexing/Optical Transport Network (WDM/OTN) platform first in Bangkok, one of the most visited cities in the world and a major business center for the region. New optical network will support DTAC s mobile subscription growth rate of 6 percent per year plus the large number of visitors bringing their own devices into the country, providing all users with fast broadband needed for increasingly sophisticated high-bandwidth mobile services such as streaming video and data-enstives applications. DTAC is also deploying Alcatel-Lucent s intelligent generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) Control Plane that ensures automated network operation and the highest level of service protection for maximum reliability. Included in the 1830 PSS is Wavelength TrackerTM technology which provides an integrated view of all wavelengths across DTAC s network making it easier to monitor performance and identify problem areas.
