July 11, 2005 Paris, France -- Alcatel today announced that it is deploying an optical multi-service transport network for Telmex, Mexico's largest incumbent operator, to support broadband data applications for business and residential users across the country.
The company is deploying its Optical Multi-Service Node (OMSN) systems to provide Mexican business users with Ethernet virtual private networking services such as virtual private LAN services (VPLS), LAN extension, and virtual leased lines (VLL). The company says the project strengthens its presence as a key supplier for Telmex, which already employs the company's DSL solutions and DWDM optical platforms.
"The demand for new communication services is rapidly changing as service providers need viable infrastructures to support broadband service expansion without sacrificing previous investments," remarks Jacques Dunogué, executive vice president and president of Europe and South America for Alcatel. "The Alcatel optical systems answer both requirements by providing Telmex with a multi-service provisioning platform that is cost-optimized to address the convergence of business and residential applications."
Integrating carrier-class packet switching functions, Alcatel says its OMSN systems offer the scalability and flexibility required to converge multiple data traffic streams over a single, end-to-end, managed platform with differentiated Quality of Service. The company says its OMSN product portfolio, which leverages technologies such as MPLS and packet ring, provides a reliable broadband aggregation platform, enabling the delivery of user-centric broadband services including multimedia applications and Ethernet VPN services, as well as the backhauling of GSM and 3G mobile traffic.
