STL to build Indian telco’s optical network for 5G
As the country gears up for 5G spectrum auction, STL, a provider of digital network, has bagged a multi-year deal with one of India’s leading telecom operators worth Rs 250 crore. STL will provide specialised optical fibres and deployment services to build the service provider's network across nine telecom circles across the country.
According to industry sources, STL will help Airtel deliver a world-class customer experience through enhanced scalability, reduced latency and improved bandwidth.
“STL and the telecom service provider have been long-term partners in the optical connectivity space. In this project, STL will collaborate with the service provider to develop and build a competent network for India,” said Praveen Cherian, CEO, of STL Global Services.
The densely fiberised network is also expected to form the foundation for many next-gen services such as 5G, FTTH (fibre to the home), IoT, enterprise networks, and Industry 4.0.
