NEW DELHI: Homegrown telecom gear maker Tejas Networks on Friday said it has bagged an optic network expansion deal from Mexico’s leading digital infrastructure company GigNet.
Under the terms of the deal, Tejas Networks said it will deploy its full-range of last-mile access products based on GPON/NG-PON fiber broadband technology, ultra-converged packet aggregation products based on MPLS-TP/PTN technology, and terabit-scale optical backbone products based on OTN/DWDM technology, all centrally managed by an SDN-ready network management system (NMS).
According to an official statement, the two companies will work together to support GigNet’s “Smart Communities” business segment for planned developments across the region.
