Nokia announced on Monday that Thai wholesale network provider International Gateway Company (IGC) has deployed its next-gen optical transport solution to modernize its existing DWDM network in Thailand.

The upgrade boosts capacity on the DWDM network – which connects the east region to Cambodia and the south region to Malaysia – to 400G per wavelength.

IGC has also deployed Nokia’s data centre interconnect (DCI) solution in Bangkok and in the east and south regions. IGC CEO Pichit Satapattayanont said both solutions will enable it to better manage data traffic more cost-effectively as demand surges, while also reducing energy consumption.

“Nokia’s cost-effective and resilient DWDM solution, based on coherent technology, will help us delight our hyperscale customers by providing superior connectivity from the Cambodian border to the Malaysian border,” he said in a statement.

#### IGC also teams with LitUp Network

The Nokia announcement comes days after IGC has signed an MoU with OMS Group subsidiary LitUp Network Singapore to collaborate on various projects in Thailand and in the ASEAN region, including cable landing stations and submarine cable systems.

Under the MoU announced last week, IGC and LitUp Network will work together to develop and deliver advanced network connectivity infrastructure to support growing demand for high-speed, reliable internet services. The two firms will also establish and manage submarine cable landing stations, PoPs, and associated infrastructure. The MoU also allows for future projects between the two companies.

LitUp Network and IGC said they are also working together on a new subsea cable system from Songkhla to Rayong, along with related terrestrial links. The Satun-Hatyai-Songkhla-Rayong cable system will complement two other systems planned for future development connecting Hatyai to Padang Besar and Hatyai to Bukit Kayu Hitam.
