Final Report 7.1.6 Chapter 7 Outline of Scope of Works Installation of transmission equipment for the Yangon-Thanlyin circuit (International Satellite Earth Station) (1) Current Situation An international satellite communications earth station (Ku-band) is located in Thanlyin near Yangon and is connected to the international gateway exchange (ITMC) in Yangon by 12-core fiber optic cable. On the other hand, an international satellite earth station (Ku-band) and domestic satellite earth station (C-band) are located in Toe Kyaung Galay, and like the Thanlyin and Yangon international gateway exchange, are connected by 12-core fiber optic cable, and Thanlyin and Toe Kyaung Galay have a mutual backup function for international satellite communications and have a diversity configuration. The configuration is shown in Figure 7.1-14. (2) Necessity (Relevance) More lines will be provided between the Yangon international gateway exchange and the satellite earth station with the aim of maintaining and improving the level of service against increased nationwide phone and internet traffic engaging in international communications. (3) Scope of upgrade As shown in Figure 7.1-14, more lines are planned by installing DWDM transmission equipment on 2 cores of the existing 12-core fiber optic cable laid between Yangon (ITMC), Thanlyin and Toe Kyaung Galay. (4) Equipment to be introduced The equipment to be introduced is as shown below. (a) Yangon - Thanlyin：DWDM (10Gbps x 4 wavelengths) (b) Thanlyin - Toe Kyaung Galay：DWDM (10Gbps x 4 wavelengths) (c) Toe Kyaung Galay - Yangon：DWDM (10Gbps x 8 wavelengths) 12core 2core（10Gbps x 4λ） Thanlin Yangon 10core（used）（ITMC） Int’l Earth Stn. 12core 12core 10core(used) 10core(used）用） 2core10Gbps x 8λ） 2core (10Gbps x 4λ） Toe Kyaung Galay.

Abstract: Reform in the political and economic spheres by Thein Sein's administration extended to telecommunication service and substantial reduction of the usage fees resulted to rapid increase of users of communication services. It is expected that the demand of communication services will expand at an accelerating rate from now on , while current status of the development of the communication network is delayed even in major cities including Yangon, Mandalay and Nayptitaw This situation is one of factors preventing the improvement of civil life and economic development. In addition , an international gateway is currently only one in Yangon with lacking in backup system. Since provision of stable communication service is a base for all economic activities and civil life, nation wide improvement of the communication network is required for balanced development of the nation. Among them, the improvement of the communication network in major cities (Yangon, Mandalay and Nayptitaw ) at the center of economic and commercial activities is an urgent need.

Under the above circumstances, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) in Myanmar set a goal to increase telecommunication density including mobile phone up to 75% to 80% by the end of 2016.

At Japan Myanmar top level meeting held on April 2012, bilateral cooperation in ICT sector was discussed as high priority and agreed on cooperation in ICT sector. Following the agreement at top level meeting, Japanese Government decided to carry out the Preparatory Survey on The Project for Improvement of Communication Networks.
