O2 to deploy Voip
Mobile operator O2 today said it has extended its supply and development contract with US vendor Lucent Technologies on the Isle of Man, where it operates as Manx Telecom.
Under the agreement Lucent will supply Manx Telecom with additional elements of its IMS solution to support advanced multimedia services. Lucent also will increase the capacity of Manx Telecom’s wireless network and upgrade the carrier’s broadband wireline network with its Multimedia Access Platform (MMAP), an all-IP technology for the delivery of IPTV, VoIP and multimedia services.
Manx Telecom launched HSDPA services using Lucent kit on November 1.
The upgraded network will enable Manx Telecom to offer VoIP services to enterprises and consumers and converged voice services that enable subscribers to access both voice and data services over wi-fi and cellular networks using a single dual-mode phone.
