Tejas Networks has announced that it has won a telecom capacity augmentation project for implementing a next-generation software-defined networking (SDN)-based dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) network with PowerGrid Teleservices (PowerTel). The comprehensive project involves network design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning and integration of 400Gbps DWDM system at new greenfield sites and for the upgradation of existing links. Tejas is deploying its state-of-the-art, multi-terabit TJ1600 DWDM/ optical transport network (OTN) product that is capable of delivering up to 1.2Tbps over a single wavelength and also supports advanced alien wavelength technology.
Commenting on the announcement, Arnob Roy, chief operating officer and executive director, Tejas Networks, said, “We are delighted to extend our long-standing partnership with PowerTel to augment the backbone capacity of their pan-India DWDM network to address the exploding demand for high-bandwidth connectivity from data centre providers, telcos, government and large enterprises. Our pioneering alien wavelength solution offers a cost-effective transition path for global telecom operators to significantly boost capacities on their brownfield networks while enhancing supply chain diversity and accelerating time-to-market for new services. With over a decade-long experience in researching and perfecting this technology, our company is one of the very few optical networking suppliers in the world to have commercially deployed alien wavelength technology at scale over diverse and complex third-party optical line systems.”
