PTC to Deploy Ericsson's Mobile Softswitch Solution

Posted on: Monday, 9 June 2008, 12:00 CDT

Poland-based telecom operator Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa has selected Ericsson as the supplier and systems integrator of its mobile softswitch solution.

Under the frame agreement, Ericsson's mobile softswitch solution will replace Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa's (PTC's) current mobile switching center. Commercial launch is set for 2008.

According to Ericsson, its mobile softswitch solution will allow PTC to reduce their core network operating expenses. The solution employs layered architecture that allows for leveraging of the existing infrastructure and ensures a common foundation for new consumer services - supporting improved call control and network intelligence, enabling a reduction in the number and size of main core network sites. It will also offer PTC bandwidth savings, improved voice-over-IP network services, and enhanced voice quality for customers.

Bruno Jacobfeuerborn, director of network operations and member of management board at PTC, said: "Ericsson's mobile softswitch solution enables PTC to expand and upgrade our network and provide a platform for the launch of attractive multimedia services for our customers."
