Alcatel-Lucent has won a 21.6m euro ($33.6m) contract from Turkish telecoms operator Turk Telekom to provide an optical network.
The company said it will deploy an optical network in Ankara, Adana, Istanbul, and Izmir, enabling Turk Telekom to offer automatic traffic provisioning for enhanced network protection, operation, and maintenance. It will also provide its Optical Multi-Service Node systems to extend the current infrastructure, based on SDH and WDM technologies.
Turk Telekom has already deployed Alcatel-Lucent broadband access and IP networking offerings, microwave radio equipment, and voice switching systems.
Frederic Rose, president at Alcatel-Lucent's business in Europe, Africa, and Asia, said: "Driven by IP-based video and multimedia high bandwidth services, a network transformation is occurring in the optical core network, where huge traffic increases have to be supported along with high availability."
