Case Study: a leading mobile network operator achieves faster 3G network rollout and $4M in savings with Wipro's Ethernet over SDH solution

Wipro deployed Ethernet over Synchronous Digital Hierarchy to transform the client's metro and backbone networks

The client, a leading mobile network operator in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, faced the challenge of modernizing its legacy SDH network to support new 3G data services. The operator needed a solution that was both cost-effective and reliable, ensuring minimal downtime and protecting its existing network investments. It partnered with Wipro to deploy an Ethernet over SDH (EoSDH) based network.

Wipro executed a swift and seamless deployment of the EoSDH solution, overcoming stringent downtime constraints. This transformation halved the planned deployment time, allowing the client to get to market quicker. The new network demonstrated a reliability of 99.995% and provided the client with significant savings of $4 million in avoided equipment costs.
