Interlink Telecom Thailand taps Alcatel-Lucent for network transformation

Telecom equipment vendor Alcatel-Lucent today said it is applying its Agile Optical Networking solutions to transform the network of Interlink Telecom in Thailand.

Interlink Telecom has installed its network along railways and major road routes across the country, connecting to neighboring Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Malaysia.

Alcatel-Lucent solution is being deployed during Phase I of the project being launched this month, in 42 stations covering Thailand’s eastern and southern regions, including the busy stations of Bangkok and Phuket.

Alcatel-Lucent in a statement said it is deploying its DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) solution with the 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) platform integrated with Wavelength Tracker technology.

The ability to offer up to 100 gigabits-per-second (100G) will enable the company to support the growing data demands of customers, including mobile operators, enterprises, ISPs, banks and governments.

Nuttanai Anuntarumporn, managing director of Interlink Telecom Company said: “We want to maintain our reputation for 99.998 percent network availability and as a result needed to deploy the highest-quality solutions.”
