Nokia has won a contract from TIME dotCom for the supply and delivery of a DWDM optical network.
Nokia said TIME’s investment in optical network will assist in meeting the growing traffic demands by enhancing connectivity across data centers and cable landing stations in Malaysia.

The optical network will connect multiple data centers, cable landing stations, and telecom exchanges spanning across peninsular Malaysia to Singapore and Thailand.

The deployment will feature Nokia’s 1830 PSS portfolio for supporting a wide range of applications and services. The 1830 PSS platform will  allow TIME to deploy services rapidly, reduce network total cost of ownership, and extend network lifecycles.

The deployment will also be supported by Nokia’s fifth generation PSE-V chipset and 400G multi-haul pluggable optics to power coherent transmission at the lowest possible cost per bit, with low power and space requirements.

Ang Thing Jiun, Chief Technology Officer of TIME dotCom, said: “With this deployment, we aim to continue delivering high-speed best-in-class experiences to our customers while preparing to address the higher bandwidth demands of the future.”

Datuk Mohd Rauf Nasir, Managing Director of Malaysia at Nokia said: “Our optical solutions will enable TIME to differentiate their webscale service offerings while adding operational and cost efficiencies to their network.”
