Nepal Telecom lays fiber to Nepal-China border
In this article (4)
Nepal Telecom has revealed it has completed a project to lay fiber at the Nepal-China border, paving the way for an interconnection with China Telecom.
The company has deployed fiber from Kathmandu to the Rasuwagadhi border point via two other Nepalese districts. The deployment uses all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) technology, which allows fiber to be deployed without the use of a support or messenger wire to save on deployment costs.
A spokesperson for Nepal Telecom told that the operator has already commenced installation of equipment for an interconnection with China Telecom’s extensive fiber footprint.
This will allow the operator to directly link to the Hong Kong Data Centre – one of the two largest data centers in the Asia region – and to establish global connectivity through Hong Kong via China. The company will also connect with a hub in Singapore via India.
Through these arrangements Nepal Telecom plans to improve the speed and increase the price of its services.
