NAIROBI – HUAWEI has released the next-generation Universal Transport Solution for Smart Grids.
It is anticipated the solution would help electric power companies in Kenya and beyond develop simple, future-oriented networks with continuous value growth. The new solution breaks transmission bottlenecks in the Big Data era and injects new vitality into optical networks.
James Gordon Kwanya Rege, Chairman of Kenya Electricity Transmission Co. Ltd., said the country’s power transmission network was expanding rapidly.
He said with the fast development of digitalization and need for business monetization, there was an exponential growth in demand for backbone bearing network bandwidth.
“Hence, electric power companies need a bandwidth solution that caters to long-term growth evolution and flexibility in capacity expansion,” Rege said.
Huawei invited Rege to its press conference held in conjunction with the International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE) exhibition in Paris.
