stc, Huawei complete First Global Optical Fiber Network of 1.2 ‎Tera / Trial Channel in DWDM Network

stc Group, the region’s leading digital enabler, in cooperation with Huawei, announced the successful completion of the world’s first 1.2T/channel trial in its DWDM optical network, a focused wavelength division optical fiber technology, which is being used To increase the bandwidth of existing fiber networks. The completion of the project reflects the leadership of stc Group in the field of high-speed data transmission and the verification of the transmission capacity of the 1.2T channel / on the live stc network.

The optical layer uses Super C technology (120 channels in one pair of fibers), and the maximum capacity of individual fibers can reach 48 terabytes, which provides a guarantee of bandwidth for new services and applications in the Kingdom, such as e-government services and applications and care Smart health and smart education, as well as accelerating digital transformation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Engineer Badr Al-Laheeb, Vice President of Infrastructure for stc Group, said, “stc is one of the pioneers in the region in the field of optical data transmission innovation, and has paid great attention to large-capacity transmission technologies.” “Huawei’s 1.2T high-speed transmission technology increases the capacity of a single fiber by 4 times and greatly improves the carrier efficiency of optical networks,” El-Laheeb added. In the future, stc Group will continue to cooperate with Huawei and explore more innovative technologies in the field of high-speed optical data transmission, accelerate the application of new technologies, establish more efficient optical networks, and provide high-quality communication services to deal with the explosive growth of communication traffic. .”

stc Group’s vision and leadership in the digital market contribute to the success of the Kingdom’s 2030 vision of digitization and automation, as the leading company in the Saudi market. The group has long been committed to modernizing the communications infrastructure, enhancing its technical features and network capabilities, providing an outstanding user experience.
