Huawei Technologies bagged a new FTTH network rollout contract for the Brunei Next Generation Broadband Network (BNBN) project of Telekom Brunei Berhad.

BNBN will cover four major areas in Brunei and will offer subscribers a maximum data transfer rate of 150 Mbps.

Under the agreement inked with Telekom Brunei Berhad, Huawei will deliver an end-to-end turnkey services package that includes active and passive equipment, holistic ODN (Optical Distribution Network) network designs, and construction management. This project will be carried out in four phases and the resulting network will serve over 40,000 subscribers in Brunei after its completion.

Rasidi Hj Osman, Project Director of Telekom Brunei Berhad, said, “This is an important strategic project for both Telekom Brunei Berhad and for Brunei, as it will offer nationwide residential and business subscribers a premium service experience. We are confident that Huawei will deliver innovative and high-quality solutions and services quickly.”

“We are pleased to collaborate with Telkom Brunei Berhad on this project. As broadband deployments continue to blossom around the globe, Huawei will use its expertise to help operators worldwide succeed in business with Huawei’s industry-leading broadband solutions that can flatten networks, facilitate deployment, and improve profitability,” said Liu Jiangfeng, President of Huawei’s South Pacific Regional Division.
