Huawei Unveils World' s First Packet-Based MSTP Evolution Solution

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.
