Mobilink has awarded a contract to China-based telecom equipment manufacturer, Huawei, to upgrade its existing network to 100 Gigabytes per second (Gbps) Optical Transport Network (OTN), a first of its kind in Pakistan. The 100Gbps OTN will be deployed across a long haul fibre network on a nationwide basis that shall facilitate Mobilink in fulfilling the ever growing data and speed requirements of subscribers. Huawei Pakistan CEO Aragon Meng said, ‘’Once the 100 Gbps OTN is deployed, services like super-sized cloud storage and Ultra High Definition (UHD) videos will be available to Mobilink users across the country, while corporate clients will be able to access huge amounts of bandwidth. This will also ensure that Mobilink is well equipped to introduce 4G LTE services in future.”
