Nokia has been chosen by TM to develop a dedicated international optical Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network, designed to enhance the management of increasing data traffic and improve connectivity between data centres. Nokia’s advanced DWDM solution will enable TM to effectively manage substantial growth in data traffic and meet the rising demand for real-time, low-latency cloud-based services and applications from its hyperscaler clients.
The new DWDM network will serve as a direct route for cross-border traffic, linking the Malaysia-Thailand border with the Malaysia-Singapore border. It will provide hyperconnectivity to key data centres across Malaysia and a cable landing station, accommodating the rapid growth of data traffic between these nations. Upon completion, this network will assist TM in accelerating its adoption of AI to enhance network performance and operations through automation.
Utilising Nokia’s fifth-generation super-coherent Photonic Service Engine (PSE-Vs), the all-optical network will offer exceptional transmission performance over long distances, leading to improved capacity, scalability, and interoperability, while also ensuring environmental sustainability through its low energy consumption per bit. By transmitting signals over a single fibre optic cable, TM will be well-equipped to manage the large volumes of data generated by hyperscalers.
TM will also employ the Nokia WaveSuite platform to optimise its network operations and maximise the potential of its network assets through the service enablement application.
“As a trusted partner to TM, we are delighted to collaborate with our customer to help accelerate the adoption of AI and address the ever-growing hyperconnectivity of traffic. Our best-in-class optical solutions will enable TM to provide a sustainable and world-class network experience to its end users in the region. Our technical lab in Malaysia, coupled with local manufacturing of DWDM gear, allows us to ensure the timely and smooth execution of this important project,” commented John Harrington, Senior Vice President and Head of Asia Pacific Sales for Network Infrastructure at Nokia.
