Albtelecom Sa, the incumbent fixed network operator in
Albania, has chosen Nokia Siemens Networks to develop a Next Generation Network as it moves to offer broadband services to its subscribers. Thanks to the new technology providing broadband access to the Internet, Albtelecom expects to increase gradually the number and quality of services offered to its current hardly one million customers and to attract thousands of new ones. Under the recently signed contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will deliver to Albtelecom an efficient and cost-effective solution for a streamlined, consolidated network, featuring broadband access and high-quality voice services, which is also capable of handling traditional telephony, simple access points and circuit-switched digital network. The solution features Nokia Siemens Networks’ SURPASShiE 9200 softswitch, a powerful device controlling Voice over IP calls as well classical switching in a single network, and broadband access technology based on Multiservice Access Node (MSAN) integrating the whole range of fiber and copper access technology. The solution also includes a set of services ensuring efficiency and operational performance for Albtelecom’s network: an effective project management to help overcome commercial, operational and technical challenges, network implementation, including installation, commissioning and integration to optimize spending and maintenance services ensuring higher efficiency and reducing costs.
