Telecom Egypt 50G PON trial with Huawei
Telecom Egypt and Huawei have introduced the completion of the 50G PON trial in Africa, claimed to be the primary in Africa. The take a look at showcases that the add and obtain charges of the 50G PON prototype meet the usual necessities. It additionally verifies the aptitude of managing 50G PON ONTs and the aptitude of supporting the G/10G PON50 Combo perform whereas being suitable with the prevailing fiber optic community.
“This compatibility eliminates the necessity for creating a brand new community. Moreover, the 50G PON is designed to work seamlessly with the Optical Distribution Community (ODN) on optical gadgets, paving the best way for future improvement,” Telecom Egypt stated in a joint assertion.
50G PON is the newest fiber expertise that provides as much as 50 Gbps with upgraded and safe broadband utilization for each customers and companies.
Telecom Egypt DWDM 1.2 Tbps Trial
In one other improvement, Telecom Egypt and Huawei have collectively introduced the completion of the Lab take a look at of DWDM 1.2Tbps single channel, which they declare as Africa’s first. Reportedly, concentrated wavelength division optical fiber expertise was used to extend the bandwidth of present fiber networks.
Telecom Egypt stated this expertise will likely be quickly utilized in its dwell community to speed up its digital transformation.
Telecom Egypt has reportedly constructed optical networks in Egypt, outfitted with 400G/800G, Tremendous C band, and Robotically Switched Optical Community (ASON) options.

“The 1.2 Tbps coherent resolution achieved on this Lab Take a look at meets industrial deployment necessities for transmission attain, spectral effectivity, latency, and system power consumption to offer a number of purposes reminiscent of Metro, short-haul, and Knowledge Heart Interconnect (DCI) throughout a single wavelength,” Telecom Egypt stated.
The optical layer employs Tremendous C expertise, with 120 channels in a single fiber pair, and the utmost single-fiber capability can attain 48T, offering sufficient bandwidth for Telecom Egypt’s community readiness for 5G.
Telecom Egypt companions with Huawei for 5G
Throughout the MWC 2024, Telecom Egypt and Huawei introduced a partnership to deploy a 5G Community, underneath which Huawei will supply its newest options, together with 5G wi-fi, 5G service-oriented core, and 5G prepared transport community to facilitate clean 5G expertise adoption.
Beneath this collaboration, Huawei has established 5G websites in hotspot areas throughout Egypt to realize the utmost knowledge switch fee (throughput), aligning with the theoretical throughput given the spectrum out there.

5G Take a look at in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital
Telecom Egypt and Ericsson have introduced efficiently trialling 5G throughout a number of key places in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital, reaching the utmost theoretical downlink throughput on the used spectrum.
The trial was reportedly performed on the at the moment licensed 2.6 gigahertz (GHz) spectrum by deploying a 5G non-standalone (NSA) resolution utilizing 4G/5G radios from the Ericsson Radio System and linked to Ericsson’s Advanced Packet Core (EPC) and Unified Knowledge Administration (UDM).
In keeping with the official launch, This trial is an extension of Ericsson’s ongoing collaboration with Telecom Egypt.
