However, the transmission equipment is needed to provide according to the demands. And the looping of cable facilities will be realized and thus the reliability of the facilities should also be improved. On the other hand, Yangon and Mandalay are big cities from very long time ago, and provision of the ring-shaped the metro-networks and the expansion of the cable capacity, and changing into the optical fiber cable network will be an important subject. Also to be seen in these two cities, the relating facilities such as ducts, manholes, poles are aged or shorted in quantities, MPT will add or replace them one by one steadily. In the same way, the overhead wires should be renewed step by step. In case the metro networks are developed, MPT intends to use the optical fiber cable system in principle. In this occasion, the metro networks in these three cities, are proceeded toward IP and Ethernet for improving network utilizing efficient. For the other cities, where no optical fiber cable system or microwave link have not been 5-12
