Insights
This major DWDM deployment represents a significant technological leap for both Ribbon Communications and Bharti Airtel. The implementation of the Apollo 9600 suite with 51.2 Tbps capacity across a 30,000 km network positions Airtel to effectively support India's growing 5G infrastructure needs. The C+L band support provides expanded wavelength ranges, effectively doubling the fiber capacity compared to traditional C-band only systems.
The Muse platform's automation capabilities will drive operational cost savings through reduced manual intervention and improved network management efficiency. This deployment strengthens Ribbon's position in the Asian telecom infrastructure market, where 5G rollouts are accelerating. The scale of this project - one of India's largest optical network deployments - should drive significant revenue opportunities for Ribbon in the high-growth Indian telecom market.
