Alcatel-Lucent’s 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS) has been selected by NTT DOCOMO, Japan’s largest mobile operator, for the all-IP transformation of its network. Alcatel-Lucent says its solution will enable NTT DOCOMO to deliver high quality voice, data and video services meeting its customers’ diverse demands.
Based on its 7450 ESS, Alcatel-Lucent’s solution will help NTT DOCOMO construct a nationwide, latency-sensitive network addressing voice and video traffic when transporting over its core IP network. It also provides a smooth evolution path for NTT DOCOMO to upgrade its network to 10Gig and – as network growth demands – to 40Gig and 100Gig.
According to Ovum RHK, Alcatel-Lucent holds the #2 position in the IP/MPLS Edge market segment.
