Draft Final Report Chapter 7 Outline of Scope of Works (3) Scope of upgrade The speed of the communications equipment introduced under the Project for the Urgent Improvement of Communication Networks towards the achievement of Thilawa SEZ Class A will be increased (to 10Gbps between Yangon and Thilawa), and reliability will be enhanced (by introduction of optical fiber rings and L2 switch STP functions). Therefore, transmission equipment (CWDM, 10GbE router) will be installed in the Thanlyin Station and optical fiber communication lines will be laid to Thilawa SEZ. An outline of the Thilawa SEZ communication equipment is shown in Figure 7.1-23 and a map of the target area is shown in Figure 7.1-24. The Thilawa SEZ development plan is currently ongoing. The plot has not been decided yet and the electric power supply system plan is still undecided, so a design was drawn up based on the following preconditions. 1) Precondition 1: Basic topographical data  Class A area: 400ha = 4km2 (interviews with the trading company consortium who are the Thilawa SEZ developers) (Reference: SEZ area: 2,400 ha = 24km2)  Class A final planned population 40,000-50,000 (Same as above) (Reference: SEZ population: 333,600) 2) Precondition 2: Preconditions for deciding line configuration  For the foreseeable future, no power supply will be available around Tilawa SEZ. (Marine University and Thanlyin Station have a power supply)  Incoming tenants will be responsible for SEZ internal line construction, line application, etc. whenever required. 3)  LTE installed in Marine University under grant aid cooperation will also be utilized.  Consideration will be given to providing FTTx services in future.  The transmission route between SEZ and Yangon city will adequately meet Class A demand.  The transmission route will have a highly reliable line configuration. Line configuration  The transmission equipment will be connected to the existing fiber optic cable in Thanlyin Station and a transmission route for Yangon = Thanlyin = Thilawa SEZ will be installed.  The transmission route will be a loop configuration using fiber optic cable.  The necessary switches, etc. for loop configuration will be installed in Marine University. (Reason: Time until transmission route construction and cost can be reduced by adopting this method.) (4) Equipment to be introduced The main equipment required for construction of the Thilawa SEZ communication facilities is as shown below. (a) CWDM multiplex transmission equipment x 2 (Note: CWDM will not be necessary when DWDM of 30 Gbps is installed in Thanlin station planned under Yangon Metro network 7-41

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.
