NEC Increases Compact Microwave Communications System Shipments in Russia
NEC Corporation has begun the shipments of the new iPASOLINK series of compact microwave communications systems to Mobile TeleSystems OJSC. In order to expand and modernize MTS' communications systems, NEC will deliver 15,000 iPASOLINK transmitters to MTS in 2011.
iPASOLINK is to allow MTS to increase the bandwidth capability of channels and the total capacity networks on internal communication lines. New iPASOLINK equipment is being installed in all of MTS' service regions, which will facilitate their transition to fully functional IP-based networks.
One of the key components of the iPASOLINK platform is a powerful embedded switch, which provides traffic optimization, support for key functions and protocol signal transferring. The usage of a high-level modulation and a cross-polarization system (XPIC) ensures that MTS clients will have an Internet carrying capacity of up to 920 Mb/sec.
NEC will also deliver ePASOLINK, a digital microwave system from the PASOLINK family that provides ultra-high link throughputs of up to 1.2 Gbps in the E-band spectrum range of 70/80 GHz.
Sergei Vorozhtsov, Technical Director, MTS, Volga region said, "Cooperation with NEC is a natural step for MTS in an ambitious program of modernization and capacity expansion of 2G and 3G networks. This collaboration will allow MTS to rapidly expand transmission channels for subscribers, increase the rate of data transfer and improve the quality of voice services. It will be especially helpful in outlying regions".
