NEC Wins Mobile Backhaul Contract in Indonesia
NEC has won a contract with Indonesia's PT Indosat to implement a mobile backhaul IP migration project that utilizes existing networks to transfer systems into the latest IP structure. The new project is composed of microwave communications systems, “PASOLINK,” and “CX2600” service consolidation switches.
This latest project capitalizes on the CX2600 to manage existing legacy circuits and bundle them into an IP structure. The system is then incorporated with PASOLINK technologies in order to create an all-IP-based mobile backhaul that holds operational costs in check by taking advantage of existing infrastructure and smoothly transferring to IP.
As traffic annually increases due to the diffusion of broadband through 3G, demand from the Indonesian mobile infrastructure market to quickly implement all-IP systems that utilize existing infrastructure continues to grow as well.
In addition to the Indosat project, NEC has also been selected to provide similar systems in Columbia and Tunisia.
