Bosnia and Herzegovina’s biggest operator of mobile and fixed networks – BH Telecom - will use Nokia Siemens Networks’ flexible, high-capacity fiber-optic platform to strengthen its leading market position and expand its services to customers. BH Telecom is the first operator in the country to implement Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology. Nokia Siemens Networks’ DWDM network based on the SURPASS hiT 7300 platform will provide BH Telecom with a scalable and cost effective transport backbone, anticipating the future transmission volumes from the emerging data traffic. It also will prepare the operator for the transformation towards Next Generation Networks. The deliveries are planned for the second quarter of 2008. Nokia Siemens Networks also will provide BH Telecom with an advanced network management system for next generation optical networks (TMNS), as well as network implementation and training services for BH Telecom’s staff, to ensure network launch within agreed timeframes and the highest possible quality. The new network will give BH Telecom a very strong leading market position and provide the possibility to increase data transport capacities to carrier customers. For end users, it will mean a flexible bandwidth and quality services like Virtual Private Network (VPN). The network also features the new technology of reconfigurable optical add/drop Multiplexing (ROADM), which helps shorten the implementation time.
