Lucent awarded next generation contracts by China Unicom and China Telecom
January 14, 2004
Lucent Technologies announced a series of significant agreements with
China Unicom and China Telecom with total contract values of more than
$350 million.
The agreements cover virtually the entire range of Lucent's next-generation
network offerings and services that are designed to accelerate the smooth
evolution to packet networks as well as enabling the delivery of advanced
multimedia communications services.
Under the contracts, Lucent will deliver solutions that lay the foundation
for Internet protocol (IP) voice and data services such as high-speed
mobile data access, video-on-demand and IP Centrex services. These solutions,
incorporating parts of Lucent's recently announced Accelerate portfolio,
simultaneously provide the additional benefit of cutting the cost of operating
their networks.
"China is a leader in shaping the future of next-gen networks," said
Jason Chi, president of Lucent Technologies China. "China is a key market
for Lucent, and we value our long-term strategic partnerships with China
Unicom, China Telecom and other key service providers in China."
"China growth in demand for advanced telecom services is enormous, and
the people of Lucent are committed to responding with the most innovative
communications technologies and solutions that will equip our customers
to meet these demands today and tomorrow," Chi said.
Expansion of China Unicom CDMA2000 Mobile Network Under one of the new
agreements, Lucent will provide further support for the phase III expansion
of China Unicom's CDMA2000 mobile network, the world's largest CDMA network.
With its phase III expansion, initiated this past summer, China Unicom
will expand its network capacity to support more than 50 million customers,
and offer coverage nationwide. This will enable China Unicom to serve
a greater portion of the Chinese market, and also positions the company
for the widespread commercial rollout of 3G mobile technology.
Under the contract, Lucent will supply China Unicom with the equipment
needed to deliver mobile high-speed data services such as video-on-demand,
live streaming video and high-speed wireless Internet access.
China Unicom IP/MPLS Network Expansion
The two companies also signed an agreement to supply a multi-service
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) core solution for China Unicom's
data backbone based on the joint Lucent Technologies Juniper Networks
MPLS Core solution.
The Lucent Juniper Networks MPLS Core solution includes the first announced
capability in the industry that allows service providers to automatically
create a network path that can deliver guaranteed ATM services end-to-end
over an MPLS core network. Deploying this solution will enable China Unicom
to offer varying guaranteed levels of service to enterprises on a more
cost-effective converged MPLS core network.
China Unicom's national multi-service backbone network is currently the
largest multi-service switching network in the world based on technology
from Lucent and is the largest convergent transport network in China.
The phase IV expansion will support a variety of services in 330 major
cities in China.
MPLS is a technology that improves IP network quality.
Lucent's MPLS core solution enables the same high quality of service
in IP networks as available in today's standard data networks, which use
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology.
China Telecom Frame Agreement for Next-Gen Voice and Data Solutions
Additionally, China Telecom signed a frame agreement with Lucent for
equipment and services covering optical systems, 5E-XC switches from Lucent's
Accelerate portfolio of Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions and Personal Handyphone
Systems (PHS).
China Telecom is the largest fixed-line service provider in China and
is among the first service providers in the world to deploy Lucent's next-generation
optical networking solutions including the LambdaUnite MultiService Switch
(MSS), and PHS solutions, which allow subscribers to use a sophisticated
cordless phone to access wireless voice and data services in a particular
geographic area.
