Multinet, a business communications provider with headquarters in Pakistan, has announced plans to upgrade its optical transport network.
The optical transport network currently stretches across the entire nation and connects more than 120 cities over more than 14,000 kilometers. 3.2 Tbps of capacity will be added to this long-haul network infrastructure deployment using the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) Open Optical Framework, which was created to offer better connectivity.
The optical transport network upgrade will allow the Multinet to bring agility and hyper scalability to Pakistan’s rising bandwidth demand, and this project will be the largest Open Optical Framework implementation in the history of the world.
Additionally, it will expand Multinet’s fibre network to include more cities and towns, greatly enhancing Pakistan’s capacity for data and internet access in urban, semi-urban, and rural areas.
To develop open and disaggregated technologies, architectures, and interfaces for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and the IP networks is the goal of Telecom Infra Project TIP’s Open Optical and Packet Transport initiative.
Software and hardware from TIP’s Open Optical Ecosystem, as well as market leaders Edgecore, IP Infusion, and Smart Optics, as well as local system integrator partner STARCOM Technologies in Pakistan, are used in Multinet’s long-haul network infrastructure deployment.
Cassini, Telecom Infra Project TIP’s disaggregated coherent switch and open packet transponder created by Edgecore Networks, and IP Infusion’s OcNOS, the market’s most feature-rich network operating system for white box disaggregated network solutions that enable the scalable migration from closed networks to open and agile networks, are included in Multinet’s upgrade.
Telecom Infra Project (TIP), which was established in 2016, is a community of diverse members who collaborate to develop, test, and implement open, disaggregated, and standards-based solutions for high-quality connectivity. These members range from service providers and the technology partners to systems integrators and other connectivity stakeholders.
