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.
Telecom New Zealand has announced plans to invest $NZ220 million to convert
its PSTN network to VoIP. The first residential customers will migrate onto
the new network by early 2007 and all 1.7 million customer lines will be
transitioned to the new platform by 2012. Telecom NZ described the project
as "a critical milestone in the multi-year, $NZ1.4 billion transition to a
totally new network platform that will deliver triple play (voice, data and
video bundle) services."
Alcatel, which has a long-term contract to manage Telecom NZ's fixed
networks, will be the big winner from the upgrade. Telecom COO, Simon
Moutter, said: "We believe the Alcatel solution is the best international
technology option for the rollout of next generation services to New
Zealanders."
For the IP voice platform project, Telecom and Alcatel are building: an IP
voice call control platform and trunk gateways to switch and process IP
voice traffic to and from the current PSTN; 'border security' to prevent
unauthorised access, detect and prevent security threats and provide voice
security; the capability to deliver an IP voice trunking product to connect
enterprise VoIP systems to Telecom's network; adaptation of Alcatel's NGN
solutions to the New Zealand environment, enabling the equipment to
interoperate with other networks and billing and service management systems.
Alcatel will supply its 5020 softswitch platform to support the migration of
PSTN network towards a full IP infrastructure and the Alcatel 8690 Open
Services Platform to deliver next generation, multimedia services for end
users.
