BT awarded a EUR 30 million contract Alcatel for an service delivery platform that enables advanced IP services and supports existing Number Translation and Network based Call Centre services. The contract, which is part of BT’s 21st Century Network (21CN) strategy, covers the Alcatel 8690 Open Services Platform (OSP). Alcatel is working with Sun Microsystems and Ulticom to supply the IT platforms and signaling software, respectively.
The Alcatel 8690 OSP is part of Alcatel’s Open Path to Enhanced Networking (OPEN) program for enhanced broadband services, which protects current voice revenues by using a staged migration to a converged packet infrastructure. http://www.alcatel.com
