27 December, 2004: Huawei Technologies has announced that it has built the world’s largest Softswitch network in China for China Mobile. The project was completed on 27 November, 2004 with the aim of reducing operations costs and increasing network flexibility. This implementation is of great significance in the industry because this is the first time a Chinese operator has engaged in Softswitch-based network construction and service cut-over of such a large scale. This network is expected to carry 17951 provincial inter-network traffic across 31 provinces in China, with the total traffic equivalent to one-third of the traditional provincial network traffic.
