TELKOM INDONESIA REINFORCES 5G TRANSPORT NETWORK INITIATIVES WITH TIME SYNCHRONIZATION BY NEC AND ADVA

NEC Corporation and ADVA will jointly deploy time synchronization solutions for Telkom Indonesia, the largest fixed network operator in Indonesia, to help the operator prepare its transport network to deliver time-sensitive 5G services across the country.

NEC and ADVA will deliver solutions that support the "Precision time protocol telecom profile for phase/time synchronization with full timing support from the network" (PTP G.8275.1/2), recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for the adoption of 5G networks. The network will further enable superior customer experiences even in dense urban areas, including Jakarta and other central cities. Time synchronization will also enable a flexible architecture that will accommodate the unique requirements for each region the operator serves.

NEC has been a trusted partner to Telkom Indonesia for over 30 years, supplying carrier-grade services with end-to-end project management ranging from consultancy, design and implementation to operational support, leveraging its nationwide service coverage across numerous islands. Based on extensive knowledge of the operator’s network and its experience deploying time synchronization solutions globally as part of 5G xHaul Transformation Services, NEC is leading the system integration of the total project.
