Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Alcatel and Sun Microsystems have signed a major cooperation agreement to "further improve the cost-effectiveness of Alcatel's existing IT-based mobile core network solutions".
The agreement includes a joint R&D cooperation that leverages Sun's expertise in carrier grade servers and operating systems as well as Sun's upcoming Netra AdvancedTCA blade platform and Open Standard implementation, supporting Sun UltraSPARC and AMD Opteron processors with carrier grade Solaris 10 and Linux operating systems.
Alcatel says that, a part of the multi-year cooperation agreement, Sun will be in a privileged position to become the prime platform partner and integrator of choice for Alcatel's next-generation IT-based core network solutions.
Alcatel is already deploying Sun's carrier grade Netra servers to support its mobile call server software, part of the Alcatel 5020 softswitch range of products which is already carrying commercial traffic in commercial networks in North America, Europe and Asia.
Sun's carrier grade server technology is also used in the Alcatel 5020 softswitch for VoIP applications in fixed networks, as well as in Alcatel's open service platform (OSP) for intelligent network (IN) services. Sun already provides integration services through its Customer Ready Systems program for OSP for IN services.
