Telikom PNG (Papua New Guinea) has selected Aviat Networks WTM 6000 for deployment of a total turnkey microwave transport system to support its National Broadband Network (NBN) rollout to enable fast and reliable fixed and mobile broadband across the country. The Aviat WTM 6000 microwave trunking platform that has the ability to support up to 4 Gbps of aggregate data throughput will serve as the backbone communication, providing long haul connections.
Telikom PNG Chairman Mahesh Patel says the creation of a new modern, high-speed microwave backbone signals an exciting chapter for Papua New Guinea, where mobile and fixed broadband services that were once inaccessible to the ordinary Papua New Guinean can be brought to his or her doorstep. "We are pleased to select Avaiat Network as our wireless transmission partner in our NBN project," says Mr Patel. "With the WTM 6000, our NBN will have the highest capacity radio, which will grow with the needs of the business over the next several years."
"Aviat Network is proud to partner with Telikom PNG to provide a solution for high-capacity IP backhaul infrastructure needs that will make the NBN vision a reality," says Michael Pangia, president and CEO, Aviat Networks. "This type of network deployment draws on Aviat's vast experience in designing and establishing microwave trunk networks in challenging operating environments and terrains, such as those in Papua New Guinea."
