Business IT - Networking

As you can imagine, Alcatel-Lucent are pretty chuffed about laying such a long piece of cable, too.

Hilary Mine, Alcatel-Lucent's Managing Director Australasia and North Asia, said this new project strengthens its enduring relationship with Telstra, and noted that: "As Telstra's wireline partner, Alcatel Lucent is delighted to celebrate this latest milestone in dramatically enhancing Australia's communications capacity”.

Telstra says the increased capacity is good news for its retail and wholesale customers, who will enjoy:

- Higher Internet speeds and greater security when they access information from the United States on Telstra's Next G network and through BigPond, and when they use services such as telecommuting and videoconferencing

- An expanded range and quality of services for business customers including advanced multimedia and e-commerce applications, and more intelligent network services.

Kate McKenzie, Group Managing Director, Telstra Wholesale said that “Telstra first invested in Next G wireless broadband and ADSL2+ fixed broadband, and now we are investing in undersea cables to give our customers the best experience possible.”

McKenzie continued: "All of these investments are occurring where there are benefits for customers, and where Telstra can make a commercial return on its investment.”
