NEC to give Microwave Systems and SDH Multiplexers to Albania’s Albtelecom

TOKYO, Feb 23 – NEC Corporation announced last week it would deploy a broadband access network based on NEC’s 5000 Series ultra compact trunk microwave communications system, PASOLINK, and its MN Series SDH multiplexer, to Albania’s Albtelecom to enable it to efficiently address the region’s rapidly increasing data traffic needs, according to a local Japanese media outlet.
Albtelecom is Albania’s leading fixed-line operator, and NEC’s microwave systems will be introduced to support Albtelecom’s broadband network. PASOLINK’s flexibility enables the system to process a wide variety of transmission speeds and interfaces within the same platform, which facilitates the ongoing voice and data traffic growth associated with the expansion of ADSL network coverage in Albania.
The announcement marked the opening of business between NEC and Albtelecom, an agreement that also represents the first order in Eastern Europe for the 5000S trunk microwave system and the first European order for the MN Series SDH multiplexer.
NEC will continue to leverage its industry experience to proactively develop and promote innovative new technologies as a leading global provider of wireless broadband communications systems.
NEC Corporation is one of the world’s leading providers of Internet, broadband network and enterprise business solutions dedicated to meeting the specialized needs of a diversified global base of customers.
