BTI Systems touts Asian success
Metro optical transport platform provider BTI Systems has announced a pair of customer wins in Asia, one in Malaysia and the other in Vietnam.
In Malaysia, wholesale operator Fiberail has increased its deployment of BTI's Integrated Services Delivery Platforms -- specifically, the BTI 7000 Series -- to support mobile backhaul and Carrier Ethernet business services as well as "international interconnect" services to Thailand and Singapore. The deployment came as Fiberail expanded to provide metro Ethernet services to operators and financial service organizations, which complements the three fiber-optic networks Fiberall uses to deliver voice, data, and video capabilities countrywide. Fiberail has 5000 km of fiber-optic cable along the railways and gas pipeline corridor passing through almost all major towns in Malaysia.
The network now includes both the 7000 Series and 700 Series, which in particular enables Fiberail to supply end-to-end, low-latency mobile backhaul services.
"We continue to be impressed with BTI's solutions, as we build out our Mobile Backhaul and metro Ethernet capabilities," said a corporate spokesperson at Fiberail. "We chose BTI for this important network expansion as their solutions uniquely deliver very low latencies, interoperability with other vendors, and a cost-effective 'pay as we grow' approach. We are able to move quickly to leverage new opportunities as BTI's solutions are easy to deploy and scale, providing us with a strong competitive edge."
In Vietnam, Hanoi Telecom Corp. has selected BTI’s 700 Series with the proNX Service Manager to enable it to provide cost-effective, rapid delivery of Ethernet business services to its enterprise customers throughout the country. In partnership with Escom Co., Ltd, a value added distributor and solutions provider, Hanoi Telecom has integrated the 700 Series into its DWDM network to deploy its new metroE platform cost effectively, while accelerating the provisioning of Ethernet services to businesses from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and across 25 other cities.
