Papua New Guinea operator Telikom has selected
Huawei to roll out a national broadband network. The national broadband
project is supported by shareholder IPBC and the government.
The new
network will deliver ADSL2+ broadband to over 80,000 premises in Papua
New Guinea, with a further 8,000 locations to be connected to GPON
technology at speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
The project will also see the
creation of a new high-speed broadband backbone – a long-haul microwave
transmission network which will offer open access to both fixed-line and
mobile operators.
Telikom also said it will use the backbone to deliver
LTE mobile broadband services in major urban centres.
Furthermore,
Huawei announced it will launch an ICT student sponsorship programme to
train students on broadband technology so they can deploy and maintain
the national broadband network in future years.
