Orange Spain to construct 200 Gbps backbone network

Huawei and Orange Spain have finalized the construction of long distance transmission network with capacities of 96×200 gigabits per second (Gbps), which will cover distances of almost 1,000 km without regeneration.

Thanks to the Flexgrid technology of optical multiplexing, this new Orange Spain network will reach a total capacity of 19.2 Tbps in a single pair of fibers. This will allow the operator to be prepared for the challenges posed by the deployment of 5G technology, and develop its transport capacity for 4K video whilst also optimizing its wholesale business.

Orange Spain, with the collaboration of Huawei, has achieved 100% satisfactory consolidation of these networks, assuming an example of efficiency with this type of operation, and is a standout achievement in the European field of telecommunications.

For Orange Spain, this consolidation of infrastructure contributes to the improvement of network operation efficiency, accelerating the time-to-market of new services and giving its end users an optimal experience. This helps to further reinforce Orange’s position as a top tier operator in the Spanish market.
