Alcatel enables 3G data traffic between Japan and Netherlands
May 23, 2003
Alcatel announced its successful participation in the FOMA demonstration
provided by NTT DoCoMo and KPN Mobile. Alcatel's next-generation data-aware
SDH systems for metro applications enabled the transport of 3G mobile
traffic between DoCoMo's FOMA 3G commercial systems located in Japan and
its base station modem at KPN Mobile's premises in the Netherlands, at
speeds up to 40 times faster than today's current standard GSM offers.
The interoperability of Alcatel's transmission systems and mobile operators'
3G wireless equipment allows for optimizing 3G radio transport networks
by offering cost-effective and efficient transfer of 3G services, such
as videophone and high-speed data services. Interconnection among base
stations can be achieved regardless of the continent they are located
in and without leasing additional lines from third parties. This means
that mobile operators can realize significant savings in terms of reducing
capital expenditures, as the network can be expanded incrementally where
and when needed.
NTT DoCoMo's 3G wireless systems employ Alcatel's metro Optical Multi-Service
Node (OMSN) products equipped with Integrated Service Adapter (ISA) plug-in
cards to bridge ATM traffic. The integration of ISA plug-in cards transforms
the OMSN products into highly efficient and cost-effective multi-service
provisioning platforms, supporting traditional voice and leased-line traffic,
and addresses the growing demand for broadband services such as Ethernet,
ATM and IP.
"The interconnection achieved will greatly impact the ability of operators
to optimize the transmission capacity of their 3G mobile networks, as
well as roll out data services to their subscribers quicker," said Romano
Valussi, president of Alcatel's optical networks activities. "The trial
with NTT DoCoMo, which is at the forefront of 3G solutions and services,
demonstrates Alcatel's ability to enable carriers to optimize their networks
by delivering any type of service everywhere and improve customer satisfaction"
