Nortel To Power China's Longest Pipeline
China's landmark West-East Gas Pipeline Project has selected an IP-based converged networking solution from Nortel to power high quality voice and multimedia communications, both wired and wireless, along its 4,200-kilometer route.
Operated by PetroChina Company Limited, a subsidiary of the state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation, the pipeline is the longest in China, and one of the longest in the world spanning nine provinces to transport natural gas from the rich Lunnan gas fields of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region all the way to the economic hub of Shanghai and other regions of the Yangtze River Delta.
Currently in operation at West-East Gas Pipeline Project's (WEPP) network control center in Shanghai, the converged network from Nortel will be extended to 57 out of 200 sites along the pipeline's route by early 2006. When complete, the project will be one of the largest IP softswitch-based enterprise networks Nortel has deployed to date in China.
