Internal project codenames decode to specific customers: M22 = Myanmar (operators Mytel, Ooredoo Myanmar, and ATOM; sites YGN=Yangon, MDY=Mandalay), K18 = Kazakhstan (site renamed Nur-Sultan to Astana in OLAP config), E21 = Ethiopia (operator Safaricom Ethiopia; sites ADAMA-PE/SSM-PE to KLT-IGW/SHQ-IGW), WMS-UTR = Pakistan.
埃塞新接入了一个运营商叫Safaricom Ethiopia，该运营商有两个IGW站点分别是Kaliti...和STEP HQ...业主（墨处）将...两条IGW站点...命名为KLT和SHQ。
Defense implications
- Myanmar deployment spans at least three named operators (Mytel, Ooredoo, ATOM), not just 'Myanmar' generally -- more granular than country-level public reporting.

Geedge Networks' 2023 new-hire onboarding deck gives a corporate timeline: TSG's first international market win (with a codename "Nezha" launching the same month) in September 2018, "网络叙事者" (CyberNarrator) launching November 2020, a "South Asia" country project landing August 2021 (overseas market expansion), and Geedge winning a bid as overall solution provider for an "East Africa" country project in May 2022 — timing and regions consistent with this corpus's existing Pakistan (WMS-UTR/P19) and Ethiopia (E21) site attributions, though the deck itself does not name the countries.
Geedge's internal company timeline dates the launch of 网络叙事者 (CyberNarrator) to November 2020, and states the company won a 'South Asian country' project in May 2021 (consistent with Pakistan/WMS-UTR) and, as overall solution provider, an 'East Africa country' project in May 2022 (consistent with Ethiopia/HDM) -- corroborating the export timeline for those two customers from the company's own materials rather than site-side evidence alone.
Multi-week TSG engineering investigation of iTOP VPN (requested by an Ethiopia deployment, cross-tested in a Myanmar environment) found blocking only takes effect for VPN sessions established AFTER a detection policy is pushed; a VPN already connected before the policy loads is never blocked or logged, regardless of signature type (SNI or server-IP).
The galaxy/deployment/online-config repo — the central field/site configuration store — maintains per-customer git branches named E21 (Ethiopia), P19 and P19-POC (Pakistan), and XJ (Xinjiang), each tracking dated "现场配置" (field configuration) commits pinned to specific TSG software versions (e.g. TSG 22.02, 21.11), directly corroborating the E21/P19/XJ site codenames already established in taxonomy and confirming ongoing, versioned field deployments as recently as 2023-07 (a "P19 23.07 online-config" branch commit).
The T1/NTC (text-content DPI) node's wired-config manifest (main.conf, dated 2019-01-30) sets REMOTE_DIR=ASTANA/KAZAKHTELECOM/, directly naming Kazakhtelecom — Kazakhstan's dominant state-linked telecom operator — as the carrier context for this K18 deployment. The NTC_MAAT module's EFFECTIVE_FLAG further scopes rules to {location: Astana, isp: Tanstelecom}, naming a second Kazakhstani ISP (Transtelecom) tied to the same deployment.
An 'ADC Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide' (v21.11) describes a modular chassis (Switch Sled, CPU Sled) matching taxonomy's Pakistan/WMS-UTR 'ADC hardware' reference, confirming ADC is a distinct deployed hardware line -- not just a site nickname -- with its own installation documentation separate from the TSG-X/TSG-7400 line.
