Ericsson has been selected by leading operator Algérie Télécom as sole supplier and systems integrator for its network upgrade. The move sets the stage for Algérie Télécom to migrate to an all-IP network. Under the agreement, Ericsson will supply its Telephony Softswitch solution to migrate the operator's national transit layer to a next-generation network architecture. Ericsson will also be responsible for network deployment, support, and training services. Deployment and systems integration will start in November, with the migration set to be completed by mid-2008.
