“As large enterprises in China and around the world look to take advantage of the benefits of private cloud, Nokia’s data center interconnect solution offers an ideal way of bringing together geographically distributed assets to form a single, high-performance cloud,” Drazen Lukic, head of China IP and Optical Networks Business Group at Nokia, said.

“This initiative is enabling Xiaomi to maximize network capacity, address fast-growing traffic demands and enjoy the flexibility of the cloud with the security, reliability and performance of a private network.”

The 1830 PSS is a high-performance Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform, which works by combining and transmitting multiple signals simultaneously at different wavelengths on the same fiber.
