I have posted a good number of stories on Nokia and its VoIP initiatives. I recall you about my last post bearing the title ‘Nokia embraces VoIP‘ where I presented some of the major announcements of the global mobile giant. Truly, Nokia is putting its resources for the full exploitation of VoIP market.
Now, it is targeting the Asian VoIP market. The deal, which it bagged from Philippine fixed network operator, Eastern Telecom would serve in its mission to create a strong base in that market. Let us discuss about the deal.
Termed as Network Modernization Deal, the project brings together the two telecom giants for the deployment of Next Generation Network (NGN) core with Nokia taking charge of renovation of Eastern Telecom’s fixed network with a VoIP-capable NGN and fixed/broadband access system.
Nokia would provide its MSC Server System (MSS), mobile softswitch and NokiaVoIP Server for the personalized IP telephony.
Moreover, the joint agreement makes Nokia to supply both ADSL2+ and PSTN lines using the D500 access node and Broadband Wireless Access capabilities to Eastern Telecom.
In addition to all, Nokia will also extend its Nokia Flexi Intelligent Service Node that would facilitate the Eastern Telecom to provide and manage a wide range of advanced IP-based multimedia services and converged services in the Asian market.
