Paris, August 27, 2002 - Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and NYSE: ALA) has been awarded a contract by Turk Telekom for the deployment of a Internet dial access and Voice over IP (VoIP) network in Turkey. Alcatel's solution will allow Turk Telekom to provide new revenue-generating services in a multimedia environment.
Under the agreement, Alcatel – the sole supplier for this project – will provide a fully integrated solution including its Alcatel 5020 Softswitch and the Alcatel 5735 Service Management Center, supporting SIP protocol, and Commworks TC1000 Dial-IP/Media Gateways. This deployment will enable Turk Telekom to face efficiently and cost-effectively the growing amount of Internet dial-up traffic in their traditional network. It will also enable them to smoothly migrate towards next generation networks and offer additional services such as click-to-call, Internet call waiting, virtual second line and advanced call forwarding.
This project, which is a premiere in the region, will cover over 100 locations throughout Turkey and will be deployed in four phases. Deliveries for the first phase will start this summer, and are expected to be completed by October 2002.
Lutfi Yenel, Chairman of Alcatel in Turkey, said: “This project reinforces Alcatel's leadership in providing powerful and reliable solutions to help incumbent operators migrate towards NGN.
