Indosat Selects NEC for Mobile Backhaul IP Migration

Posted in News at 29/01/2009 - 05:16

PT Indosat Tbk, Indonesia’s second largest mobile phone carrier, selects NEC to implement a mobile backhaul* IP migration project that utilizes existing networks to transfer systems into the latest IP structure.

Construction of the project, which is based on an ultra-compact microwave communications system, “PASOLINK,” and the “CX2600” service consolidation switch. The total project amount is estimated at approximately 2 billion yen (18.4 million USD).

In order to remain competitive throughout Indonesia’s fierce battle for domestic market share, Indosat is seeking to have its entire 3G network prepared for IP at the earliest possible stage. This latest project capitalizes on the CX2600 to manage existing legacy circuits and bundle them into an IP structure. The system is then incorporated with PASOLINK technologies in order to create an all-IP-based mobile backhaul that holds operational costs in check by taking advantage of existing infrastructure to smoothly transfer to IP.

As traffic annually increases due to the diffusion of broadband through 3G, demand from the Indonesian mobile infrastructure market to quickly implement all-IP systems that utilize existing infrastructure continues to grow as well.

In addition to the Indosat project, NEC has also been selected to provide similar systems in Columbia and Tunisia, which demonstrate the company’s commitment to proactively develop and provide mobile broadband solutions that drive the expansion of such services as WiMAX, HSPA and more.
