Italtel builds NGN network for new Greek operator, On Telecoms
Italtel, a leading provider of solutions, products and services for Next-Generation IP Networks, has announced the signature of an agreement with On Telecoms, a new Greek alternative telecommunications operator, for the implementation of its multiservice VoIP platform and the development of new multimedia services. On Telecoms offers its business and domestic customers broadband Internet access, innovative VoIP services, and IPTV.
The NGN (Next-Generation Network) solution supplied by Italtel was provided in the space of three months from project approval, enabling On Telecoms to complete the initial stage in the development of the VoIP platform for the region of Attica within the planned time schedule, and to launch its new generation triple-play services, comprising unlimited national and international calls, IPTV, video on demand, and super-fast Internet at 10Mb/s.
Italtel was chosen by the operator for its extensive international experience in the design and rapid construction of complex Next-Generation Networks (NGN) that permit the development and supply of new multimedia and IP telephony services, both for domestic customers and companies.
On Telecoms commenced its commercial operation last January, and it is led by a management team with vast knowledge of the Greek market, and a unique heritage of experience in the start-up of telecommunication operations offering triple-play, such as Fastweb in Italy, Hansenet in Germany and Bulldog in the U.K. The project for the development of an entirely IP network and the provision of Next-Generation Services (NGS) launched by On Telecoms is one of the largest of its type in Greece.
“We are very glad for our cooperation with Italtel Group” said Ruggero Gramatica, CEO of ON Telecoms. “On Telecoms is building a culture of results and our previous collaboration with the Group has proven the excellent quality of its systems and its experience in international projects.”
“The On Telecoms development plan for the Greek market represents a great challenge”, said Marco Filipponi, VP Sales Operations for EMEA at Italtel, “and Italtel is proud to play an active role in its implementation. The large number of successes attained by Italtel in the construction of Next-Generation Networks for other international start-up customers such as FastWeb, Bulldog and Hansenet were without doubt the best credentials in enabling us to win the contract for this important project.”
The network solution selected by On Telecoms is based on Italtel Next-Generation Network (NGN) architecture and Italtel Softswitch (i-SSW) platform, which controls both access nodes and CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) devices. It offers real advantages with respect to other comparable systems in terms of network scalability, optimization of operating costs, complete operational compatibility with existing voice networks, and the possibility of introducing or developing next generation services.
The platform's reliable and robust characteristics make it a fundamental component in network infrastructures of many international operators in Europe, South America and the Middle East.
