Alcatel-Lucent To Enable Tata Teleservices Network Expansion

In a recent development, Alcatel-Lucent has won a contract from Indian telecommunication firm Tata Teleservices to enable the company to expand its CDMA/ GSM network in 22 circles pan India, covering close to 60 million subscribers. The contract spans a period of over seven years.

Alcatel-Lucent’s solution will enable Tata Teleservices to deliver data, voice, video and multimedia services with higher reliability and to meet the increasing traffic demands. Based on its flexible optical multi-service node technology, the Alcatel-Lucent optical multi-service node solution will help the Indian operator respond very quickly to customer requirements.

Its deployment will help optimise the service provider’s CAPEX and OPEX with a common set of tools to manage the overall optical transmission network in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, the solution will help improve the quality of the network efficiency and thus enable the operator to increase the number of services offered. The solution also allows remote control of the network without major on-site activities.
