Myanmar Post and Telegraph deploys DWDM systems from Optelian

Canadian optical networking specialist Optelian Inc. says Myanmar Post and Telegraph (MPT) is using Optelian’s LightGAIN DWDM system for its mobile backhaul and backbone network. MPT is installing a high-speed wireless infrastructure throughout the country with support and installation services from Myanmar World Distribution.

“MPT chose Optelian’s DWDM system for their backhaul network as it is the best fit for their operational requirements,” said Josephine Su, director of Myanmar World Distribution. “Their next-generation transport network requires a highly scalable solution with support for Ethernet services. The flexible LightGAIN system architecture, with its integrated Ethernet aggregation functionality and its quality and reliability, addresses the demands of MPT’s network growth and challenging environmental conditions.”

The news was released as Optelian executives accompany Canada’s Minister of International Trade and Minister, the Honourable Ed Fast, for the Asia-Pacific Gateway on a trade mission to Southeast Asia.

Minister Ed Fast said, “Emerging from decades of isolation, this country is poised to accelerate its economic growth and I’m pleased that Canadian technology will play a role in raising the standard of living of the Burmese people as economic and democratic reforms go hand-in-hand.”
