(RTTNews) - Nokia (NOK) announced it has been awarded over 30% of China Mobile's 2016-2017 project to construct a 100G optical network in support of its rollout of mobile broadband services. The win, part of Nokia's 2016 frame agreement with China Mobile, will see Nokia deploy a 100G Optical Transport Network and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing backbone based on the recently announced 1830 PSS-24X packet optical transport system.

Nokia and China Mobile have been working together since 1994, when the company supported China Mobile's first GSM call. As a key member of the Third Generation Partnership Project organization, Nokia helped TD-LTE become a global standard.
