Bhutan Telecom is deploying Ciena’s coherent routing solutions to support booming data traffic demands in the Kingdom of Bhutan.
With Ciena’s routers, Bhutan Telecom will improve its customer experience as new technologies such as edge cloud applications gain traction in the market.
Karma Tshewang, Technical Director, Bhutan Telecom said: “Post-pandemic, the local community continues to work, play and leverage digital content in the comfort of their homes. We’re also seeing renewed interest from connected tourists to the world’s happiest country. Hyperconnectivity is set to be a game-changer in helping transform Bhutan into a digital society and we’re working with Ciena to improve connectivity and reduce latency.”
Ciena’s 5164, 8110 and 8114 coherent routers were remotely deployed, tested and turned up by Ciena Services, who also custom designed the provider’s network. Developed specifically for space-constrained locations, Ciena’s 5164 Router is ideal for landlocked Bhutan, while its temperature-hardened 8114 Router is suited to the range of temperatures experienced in the country. In addition, with the 8110 Coherent Aggregation Router, Bhutan Telecom can help with reducing network latency, improving the quality of experience for users.
Amit Malik, Vice President and Sales Leader, Ciena India & South Asia, said: “Market dynamics are accelerating the push for cloud, and residential connectivity drives the need to leverage IP network modernization to capitalize on these new opportunities.”
