Jazztel Launches VoIP Service for Carriers with Nortel Solution 

I like this one. I am probaly going to do some upgrade work for Jazztel in the coming weeks, so this might be a sign of more to come. It would sure be nice to be able to work near home for a change. I have been travelling too much on all these Nortel projects.

Jazztel Launches VoIP Service for Carriers with Nortel Solution

MARCH 28, 2006
MADRID, Spain - Jazztel has launched wholesale carrier international VoIP services using Nortel next-generation technology.

A leading telecommunications and data transmission carrier in Spain, Jazztel, has deployed Nortel's carrier-grade technology to more cost-effectively enhance its original network to provide the next-generation capacity and performance needed to create new revenue-generating wholesale international services for its service provider customers. In addition to technology, Nortel is providing Jazztel with deployment and maintenance services from the Nortel Global Services portfolio.

"Jazztel's network upgrade is vital to helping us introduce new services and create new revenue streams, "said Rafael Conejos, chairman, Jazztel. "In the late 1990s, as one of several fixed-line operators emerging in Spain, we set a flexible foundation for the future by investing in a network backbone and added extensive last-mile connectivity from Nortel. This initial investment meant that when we wanted to upgrade our network, Nortel carrier-class switching technology was easily deployed to provide additional capacity for our new wholesale services."

Boy would I love to get in on the maintenance contract. It would be nice to get back on the VoIP softswitch equipment. I have been stuck on the legacy TDM telephone switches for over a year. Hope spring eternal though.
