PTCL inked deals with Huawei to upgrade network

PTCL has made important agreements with Huawei Pakistan for the IP Edge and Optical Transport Network modernization (OTN).

PTCL, Ufone, and Huawei Technologies Pakistan signed a contract at PTCL headquarters in Islamabad. Ahmed Bilal Masud, Deputy CEO, Huawei Technologies Pakistan, and Jafar Khalid, GCTIO (Development), PTCL, and Ufone, also attended the occasion.

Modernizing inter-city and long-haul networks are part of this initiative to meet the expected rise in traffic. Combined with the existing OTDN backbone, the PTCL long-haul capacity will be multi-Tb/s, capable of delivering improved services to the country.

Additionally, to increase the availability of IP connectivity in Pakistan, PTCL will deploy a Unified IP Edge network spanning more than 130 locations.

This additional upgrade, in addition to PTCL’s recently modernized Multi-Service Core & Internet Gateway network, will help companies meet future customer-end requirements for 100-400 Gigabit per second scalability.

PTCL is constantly modernizing its network with scalable design and futuristic technology to satisfy increasing bandwidth demand from its customers, corporations, and carriers. We are excited to join with Huawei on this key initiative, which will help open excellent ICT services across Pakistan.

Mr. Meng, Huawei CEO, highlighted the significance of Huawei’s partnership with PTCL Group and expressed Huawei’s long-term commitment to PTCL’s technology-oriented mission.

PTCL is pioneering customer experience innovation, and this network transformation will raise and surpass expectations in the future.

PTCL is dedicated to the vision of a Digital Pakistan, as it is totally devoted to constant network infrastructure evolution, as well as improvements to the value customers receive.
