Optical networking specialist Optelian announced today that Myanmar Post and Telegraph (MPT) has selected the company’s LightGAIN Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system for its cellular backhaul and backbone network. MPT is installing state-of-the-art wireless infrastructure throughout the country. The deployment will be supported by Myanmar World Distribution.

"MPT chose Optelian’s DWDM system for their backhaul network, as it is the best fit for their operational requirements,” commented Josephine Su, Director of Myanmar World Distribution. “Their next-generation transport network requires a highly scalable solution with support for Ethernet services. The flexible LightGAIN system architecture, with its integrated Ethernet aggregation functionality and its quality and reliability, addresses the demands of MPT’s network growth and challenging environmental conditions.”

Optelian made this announcement while on a trade mission with the Canadian Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, Ed Fast. On the announcement of the deal, Minister Fast said, “Emerging from decades of isolation, this country is poised to accelerate its economic growth. I’m pleased that Canadian technology will play a role in raising the standard of living of the Burmese people, as economic and democratic reforms go hand-in-hand.”
