IGC upgrades cross-border DWDM network

International Gateway Company (IGC) is modernising its existing dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) network, which connects Thailand’s east to Cambodia and south to Malaysia.

The upgraded network, enhanced by Nokia’s Photonic Service Engine (PSE) chipset, will boast a transmission capacity of 400G per wavelength. This significant improvement will enable the Thai telecommunications and network service provider to efficiently handle increasing traffic demands. It will also ensure enhanced data centre connectivity for the company’s customers.

Nokia’s Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solution will enable IGC to cost-effectively meet requirements for a high-capacity, robust network as consumer data demand surges.

“Nokia’s cost-effective and resilient DWDM solution, based on coherent technology, will help us delight our hyperscale customers by providing superior connectivity from the Cambodian border to the Malaysian border,” said Pichit Satapattayanont (top), Chief Executive Officer of IGC.
