Looks like Nortel are getting busier all the time
They released the following news today:
Intercable to Bring Triple-Play to Venezuela with Nortel Solutions
Cable Operator to Expand Broadband Services with IP Telephony and Multimedia Applications
CARACAS, Venezuela – Intercable, the leading cable service provider in Venezuela, has selected a cable voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution from Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT] to expand its portfolio of broadband services.
With the upgraded infrastructure, Intercable plans to offer new IP Telephony and additional multimedia applications to both residential and enterprise customers across the country as possibly the first Triple-Play service provider in Venezuela.
“We are continuing a tradition of offering the most advanced services,” said Eduardo Stigol, president, Intercable. “Nortel has the proven solutions and solid experience in building IP networks that will allow us to add IP Telephony and other integrated voice and video communications to our existing cable and broadband Internet service options.”
The complete portfolio of Nortel Cable VoIP solutions will enable Intercable to add IP-based voice services like Local and Long Distance Telephony to its broadband portfolio. The addition of voice services will position Intercable as a Triple-Play provider, offering consumers a bundle of voice, high-speed Internet access and television services.
Intercable will deploy Nortel’s Communication Server (CS) 2000-Compact, which enables cable operators to deliver the full suite of traditional voice services to business and residential customers on a packetized network. Also included in this deployment will be Nortel’s Media Gateway 15000 and 3200, designed to help switch voice calls more cost-effectively with the public phone network.
