Delta Telecom selects Alcatel-Lucent for mobile WiMAX network in Azerbaijan

Alcatel-Lucent announced it has been awarded a contract by Delta Telecom to deploy Azerbaijan’s first commercial WiMAX 802.16e-2005 (Rev-e) network. This new network will provide Delta Telecom’s customers with high-speed Internet access as well as other data services and voice over IP (VoIP). Delta Telecom plans to launch commercial network services at the end of 2008.

Alcatel-Lucent will supply infrastructure and services to both deploy WiMAX and modernize Delta Telecom’s nationwide carrier backbone infrastructure, including base stations, WiMAX access controllers, terminals, an IMS core network and applications software and platforms. Alcatel-Lucent also will provide design and planning for end-to-end integration of the network as well as provisioning services for Delta Telecom’s network. The comprehensive approach of this project is in line with Alcatel-Lucent’s recently launched End-to-End IP Wireless-Broadband Solution for WiMAX.
