DECEMBER 11, 2006 -- Alcatel-Lucent (search for Alcatel and Lucent) is deploying intelligent optical networking equipment for PT Telekomunikasi Selular, Indonesia's largest mobile operator. Alcatel-Lucent is expanding and upgrading the existing network with its optical crossconnect and multi-service technologies to enhance the current backhaul capacity and aggregation capabilities. The project will lay the foundation for the smooth and cost-effective transformation of PT Telekomunikasi Selular's network to accelerate the rollout of new, IP-based business and entertainment mobile services, the systems provider says.
With the largest network coverage in the archipelago, PT Telekomunikasi Selular delivers 2G and 3G mobile services to more than 32 million subscribers and provides network coverage to over 90% of Indonesia's population. Alcatel-Lucent's optical transport equipment will enable the Indonesian mobile operator to offer mobile data services to its end-users over a converged infrastructure. By delivering enhanced aggregation functionality, the network will enable tremendous flexibility and reliability, as well as investment protection for highly efficient backhaul consolidation, the company said.
The Alcatel-Lucent equipment package, based on its 1678 Metro Core Connect (MCC) and data-aware Optical Multi-Service Node (OMSN) systems, is also integrating Automatic Switched Optical Network (ASON) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) technologies. The Alcatel-Lucent equipment will be managed by the company's 1350 management suite, a portfolio of applications to manage packet, circuit, and wavelength services.
