Optimus Delivers Multi-play Services Using Huawei' s IPTime IP/MPLS Backbone Solution Tweet

Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, and Optimus, an integrated telecommunications operator of Sonaecom, jointly announced the successful deployment of an All-IP FMC (fixed and mobile convergence)-enabled IP/MPLS backbone network in Portugal that provides richer and faster fixed and mobile services.

Under the agreement, Huawei delivered NE5000E core routers and NE40E universal service routers to Optimus and deployed a reliable and scalable bearing network for both fixed and mobile operations. This state-of-the-art network also supports value-added services and smooth evolution to 40G and 100G in the future.

"Fixed and mobile convergence is the key solution to bring multi-play services to our customers. We have been investing in this area for years to fulfill our commitment of providing end-users with unparalleled communication experiences," said José Pinto Correia, Optimus' Executive Board Member. "As Huawei has a proven track record in deploying converged backbone networks worldwide, we are fully confident about the project."

As part of Huawei' s IPTime offerings, the IP/MPLS backbone allows operators to seamlessly migrate its existing services, consisting of two separate networks, to this new converged network, providing significant reduction in capital expenditures and operating expenses.

"Our latest IPTime IP/MPLS backbone solution is a major step for Optimus in the deployment of an All-IP converged network," said Xie Xinping, Managing Director, Huawei Portugal. "The new converged network allows end-users to enjoy rich and compelling services anywhere, anytime."

To date, Huawei has established more than 120 backbone networks and 620 metro networks worldwide. More than 2,000 sets of NE5000E, as well as its multi-chassis system, have been shipped to global operators.
