FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT

Hyderabad, India, 19 June, 2009: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Huawei”), a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today launched the world’s first packet-based MSTP (Multi-Service Transport Platform) evolution solution which enables operators for the first-time to move seamlessly from TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing) services to fully packet-based services without the usual cost burden that is associated with such a network upgrade.

MSTP evolution, which can be easily upgraded from existing MSTP network, will be able to meet the operators’ increasing demands of high-efficiency mobile transport networks. The new solution is backward compatible and future-oriented to support enhanced 3G and LTE technologies.

“The long-awaited packet-based MSTP evolution solution has arrived and we are thrilled that Huawei’s customers will be the first to take advantage of it,” said Mr. Christian Chua, President of Huawei Transport Network Product Line. “The new and future-proofed packet-based MSTP evolution solution presents significant opportunities for operators who are currently using TDM-based mobile transport networks and are now looking to upgrade to the exciting next-generation packet services of the future.”

This latest packet-based MSTP platform enables mutual conversion and seamless operation among ‘pure TDM transport’, ‘hybrid TDM and packet transport’ and ‘pure packet transport’ networks. The solution also supports unified end-to-end management, protects existing operator assets and investments, and substantially minimizes the costs for upgrading an MSTP network.
