Lucent Technologies Provides Brasil Telecom With IMS Elements for VoIP Services4 February 2006
Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) announced that it has signed a contract with Brasil Telecom (BrT), one of the largest broadband service providers in Latin America, to deploy new multimedia elements in the operator's networks in Curitiba, Sao Paulo and Brasilia regions. The agreement covers equipment and software on Lucent's MiLife(R) services platform, which includes multiple elements in Lucent's IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) solution, that enables new applications over BrT's Internet Protocol (IP) communications network.
With this contract, Lucent expands its participation as next generation network and Voice over IP supplier to Brasil Telecom.
"Using Lucent VoIP solutions, we are able to offer profitable and differentiated applications, with quality, mobility, security and the cost- effectiveness that our end-users demand," highlights Marcelo Nobre Frasson, Network Planning Director for Brasil Telecom.
The transition to a voice over IP network is expected to reduce operating and network maintenance expenses. Additionally, the new network elements will enable BrT to deploy advanced services that can generate additional revenue.
"Working with Brasil Telecom, we have developed advanced solutions that meet their needs. By deploying elements of our IMS solution, Brasil Telecom is setting the foundation to deliver useful new services -- that we call 'blended lifestyle services' -- that can help customers in both their professional and personal lives," said Wagner Ferreira, president of Lucent Technologies in Brazil. "This traffic migration from a conventional telephony system to a next generation network is an important step toward achieving true convergence."
Lucent has announced seven IMS contracts and has 77 trials of IMS elements ongoing with 16 service providers worldwide.
