The project, which is part of the operator's IP network transformation, will enable Globacom to extend the delivery of advanced mobile and triple play services with enhanced quality of service (QoS).

The network expansion covers radio access, Mobile NGN core network and microwave transmission, IP/MPLS and optical networking, fixed access networks, intelligent networks and valued-added services, next-generation networks, as well as OSS/Billing.
