The deal, which is worth a double-digit million EUR figure, primarily encompasses the newly developed multi-service provisioning platform SURPASS hiT 70xx. A first tranche of the contract has already been ordered for building an SDH-based transmission ring in the eastern province of the country. The new route is planned to go into operation in July 2004. http://www.siemens.com/icn-press
