Alcatel-Lucent to modernise TTCL's IP/MPLS and optical transport networks
A three-year agreement between Alcatel-Lucent and TTCL, the Tanzanian Telecommunications Company Limited, has been signed which will allow Alcatel-Lucent to modernise the operator's IP/MPLS and optical transport networks.
This transformation will allow TTCL to meet the growing demands of its fixed and mobile access customers for efficient, high-speed, high-quality data services in preparation for the launch of 4G LTE services. Alcatel-Lucent will deploy its IP routing and 100G agile optical networking (AON) DWDM technology to transform TTCL's operations, converging fixed and mobile access onto one network, with unified management across the IP and optical layers for improved efficiencies.
Phase One of the Nationwide deployment, covering major cities including the capital of Dodoma and the financial centre of Dar Es Salaam, will be completed in December 2015. Alcatel-Lucent will also be providing comprehensive training and professional services expertise including site survey, design, installation, testing and commissioning activities as well as migrating services to the new platform.
