Alcatel-Lucent has been selected by eircom,
Ireland's largest fixed-line service provider, to supply a seamless next generation network as part of its transformation to all-IP. Alcatel-Lucent's end-to-end solution will enable eircom to offer innovative triple play services such as IPTV and converged communications services to both its residential and enterprise customers. eircom will also be able to improve its time to market while reducing its operational expenses through the simplification and optimization of the new converged infrastructure. Phase One of the project, covering the major nodes in
Dublin is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2008. Demand for new services from eircom is being driven by innovative content offerings such as international sports broadcasts available from satellite operators. By transforming its network, eircom will have access to programming choices that are not available through traditional terrestrial broadcasting stations in
Ireland. Alcatel-Lucent will deploy its Triple Play Service Delivery Architecture (TPSDA), the end-to-end multiservice IP network infrastructure, enabling eircom to accelerate its IP transformation and to deliver a range of advanced, personalized multimedia services combining voice, data and video. Alcatel-Lucent is also responsible for the overall project management, maintenance and network integration, including
OSS consulting and software integration services for eircom's network. As part of its TPSDA, Alcatel-Lucent will provide eircom with an IP/MPLS core and edge multiservice network solution based on its 7750 Service Router, 7450 Ethernet Service Switch and 5750 Subscriber Service Controller. eircom has also selected Alcatel-Lucent's broadband access solutions based on its 7302 ISAM and its 8950 Service Fulfillment (SF) for the end-to-end provisioning of triple play services.
