Thai national telecom operator CAT Telecom and Huawei announced that they will build Southeast Asia’s first OTN premium private line network. The network aims to serve multinational companies and customers in the public and private sectors, such as government agencies and finance customers. The network will provide high quality domestic and international private lines to support the global transformation of enterprises and lay a solid network foundation for the Thailand 4.0 strategy. As one of the early adopters of Huawei’s premium private line concept, CAT upgraded its existing 100G cross-border network by deploying Huawei’s Intelligent OptiX Network platform to build a private line network that covers the whole of Thailand, while connecting China, Singapore, Cambodia and Myanmar.
