Under the terms of the
contract, NRGi Fibernet will deploy the Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU
(Fiber to the User) and optical network terminals for full end-to-end
fiber access, supported by the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router and
7450 Ethernet Service Switch as a core and distribution network to
connect 370 sites and 20,000 users. Alcatel-Lucent will also be
responsible for software integration, installation and commissioning,
maintenance and advanced project management.
“We require a single vendor who can deliver the right technology,
integration and project management expertise and Alcatel-Lucent is
clearly one of the only vendors offering such a complete package,”
says Kim Kjølhede, CEO in NRGi Fibernet. “We selected Alcatel-Lucent
as our partner in an ambitious plan because they have proven
leadership in deploying triple play and an extremely flexible solution
that is well-suited to our network and commercial roll-out
objectives.”
“Field-proven technical expertise, global industry leadership, and a
broad product portfolio uniquely position Alcatel-Lucent to design and
build networks that meet the most challenging requirements as power
utilities transform their networks to deliver advanced broadband
services,” said Lars Boilesen, responsible for Alcatel-Lucent’s
activities in the Nordic & Baltic countries (local). “We will support
NRGi Fibernet as they enhance their network to maximize revenue
potential and enhance the customer experience.” |
