The bandwidth increases from 2
Mbit/s to 10-15 Mbit/s.
Within five years, the bandwidth
will increase to 50-70 Mbit/s.

Peak value is three times the

average bandwidth.
Difficult bandwidth planning
Potentially wasted resources

Challenges and Demands

In an intelligent power grid, bandwidth demands surge and bandwidth on

SDH networks is obviously insufficient.

Solutions and Benefits

High-bandwidth office services, such as video conferences, are carried and
logically isolated on PTN networks.
Network bandwidth utilization is improved, configurations are flexible, highly
reliable video services are quickly deployed, and network construction costs
are reduced.
The solutions address demands for additional future high-bandwidth and
intelligent services.

SingTel: E2E PTN Network for MBH&LL

Project Profile

Challenges and Demands

Mobile Broadband (MBB) services and customer E-line services require
high bandwidth.
SingTel demands SDH-like network protection and OAM for future PTN
networks.

Solutions and Benefits

The service mainly carried currently is the important client services like bank.
According to SingTels construct plan, the mobile service will be also switched
to the PTN network.
SDH-like O&M help transport background engineer to learn.
Super Protection equipment level and network level ,Guaranteed high
reliability in the mode of packet transport.

Challenges and Demands

Users of private line services such as bank have increased and bandwidth
demands have surged; therefore, service-transmission methods must be
optimized to improve efficiency and reduce investments in private line networks.

Solutions and Benefits

Huawei's PTN solutions help achieve unified transmission of mobile, private line,
and Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) services.
The statistical multiplexing function meets surging bandwidth demands and
ensures fast access and deployment of private line services.
Multiple services are carried in a unified manner, reducing network construction
investments and later O&M costs, and improving network maintenance efficiency.
