Alcatel officially launches its 3G Reality Centre in Italy
November 27, 2003
Alcatel officially launched its latest-born 3G Reality Centre in Milan,
Italy. This unique facility is part of Alcatel's worldwide program which
offers a live and comprehensive end-to-end network environment open to
operators, content and services providers and dedicated to the development,
validation and testing of the most-exciting next generation mobile applications
and services.
The Italian 3G Reality Centre, powered by Alcatel's industry-leading
Evolium global mobile solution, is intended to be particularly significant
because of the very high density of mobile users in Italy (over 50 million
SIM cards) and because Italy is one of the very first countries to have
launched 3G/UMTS services in Europe.
In addition, leveraging on Alcatel Italy's valuable experience through
its already existing two competence Centres dedicated to UMTS and multimedia
broadband services, the Alcatel's 3G Reality Centre in Milan will represent
an opportunity to investigate the potential of fixed-mobile convergence.
Alcatel's 3GRC in Milan is featuring a broad range of mobile video solutions,
spread over two segments: video content delivery (video streaming, video
downloading, video push), and video communication (video messaging, video
telephony, video conferencing, video mailbox). The 3G Reality Centre in
Milan is particularly focusing on real time video streaming and broadcasting
enabling download optimization and video surveillance applications.
MMS, with a wider media diversity, in particular with the introduction
of video, is one of the most appealing services to enrich end-user's experience
to access and share personal information, multimedia content, mobile location-based
services, m-commerce and video-based services.
With the development of multimedia services, the harmonization of fixed
and mobile services will provide service continuity over all networks
and all devices, to the benefit of both users and operators. A case in
point is Alcatel's Instant Messaging (IM) application, service that enables
users to know whether friends or colleagues are currently connected to
the Internet and - if they are - lets them exchange messages that are
immediately posted to each user's screen, either on a GSM/GPRS phone or
on a PC connected to a DSL line.
By partnering with key Italian mobile operators and solution providers,
Alcatel will foster development for a new level of GPRS/UMTS services
and applications.
On the occasion of the official opening ceremony, Samy Gattegno, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Alcatel in Italy declared: "The growth
in mobile communications market in the coming years will depend on the
development of multimedia services that can bring value to all the relevant
players in the new value chain. The 3G Reality Centre in Milan will benefit
from Alcatel's experience as key player in fixed broadband to leverage
advanced mobile multimedia services. I believe that the 3G Reality Centre
in Milan will offer almost endless possibilities of services and partnerships
for successful mobile solutions on the Italian market."
