Huawei Technologies announced the employment of the world’s largest ASON (Automatic Switch Optical Network) for Vietnam Post and Telecommunication Group (VNPT), expanding across Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam and the country’s Northern Province.

With the deployment of ASON, a next-generation transmission technology, the network will gain a higher level of network stability, with reduced operational cost and increased flexibility in broadband services.

Additionally, it will also offer high carrier-class reliability of services even in the case of multi-point failures.

And the ROADM and tunable OTU technologies ensure fast provisioning of services and lower the maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost as well.

“This is a significant upgrade to the backbone network of VNPT. We are delighted that Huawei deployed such a large and complicated network in only eight months," said Luong Manh Hoang, Deputy General Manager of Vietnam National Telecoms (VTN), the transmission networks arm of VNPT.

The setting up of the VNPT’s network required the transportation and installation of hundreds of Huawei ASON products across Northern Vietnam.
