(APT), a fixed, mobile and Internet service provider in Taiwan, to expand its
delivery of 3G services and meet customers’ growing demand for video, Internet
and data services on-the-move.
APT will, in the second half of 2012, enhance its
existing comprehensive list of fixed and mobile services to deliver seamless
data services – including the latest multimedia applications – to business and
residential customers.
Alcatel-Lucent’s support of APT’s service expansion marks
the first wireless network the company has supplied to the operator.
Alcatel-Lucent will replace equipment
previously supplied to APT by other vendors. Additionally, as it
continues to evolve its network to offer even higher speeds and a greater
variety of services, APT will be able to utilize Alcatel-Lucent’s breakthrough
lightRadio portfolio to further expand and differentiate its service offers.
APT is committed to -Making Better Changes’ for our
customers and working with Alcatel-Lucent we will be able to do this, offering
our customers seamless fixed and mobile broadband services to enrich their
business and social lives,” said Sophia Chiu, chairman of the Asia Pacific
Telecom.
Our long history of working with Asia Pacific Telecom
means we understand the company’s needs and those of its customers. We are excited
now to be able to help transform its wireless offer, leveraging our leading 3G
CDMA and LTE solutions and our IMS portfolio. This will allow APT to
satisfy customers’ needs today while evolving the company’s network to provide
even more enhanced mobile data services and choices for its customers in the
future. APT will also be able to leverage our innovative lightRadio
portfolio in the future, allowing them to further grow their network and market
position,” said Rajeev Singh-Molares, president of Alcatel-Lucent’s
Asia-Pacific region.
Alcatel-Lucent is delivering its 3G mobile broadband
solution, which is based on CDMA EV-DO technology and its proprietary IP
Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) technology. Alcatel-Lucent will also deploy its full
services expertise in the delivery and integration of third party
equipment.
Recently
Chunghwa Telecom, a telecom operator in Taiwan, has selected Alcatel-Lucent
to upgrade its network to address Taiwan’s exploding demand for
high-bandwidth advanced mobile services.
Chunghwa Telecom’s transport network for mobile data is
based on the SDH standard, which was designed primarily to transmit voice
calls. Alcatel-Lucent’s Packet Transport Network solution will upgrade this by
increasing mobile bandwidth and by providing the greater bandwidth and
flexibility required for advanced mobile data services. Alcatel-Lucent will
ensure that Chunghwa Telecom maintains its high levels of network performance,
availability and efficiency during the transition.
