SINGAPORE, June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lucent Technologies will supply its Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Solution for Enterprises to enable Dacom, one of Korea's leading service providers, to build enhanced, cost-effective IP networks for Korea's Military Mutual Aid Association (MMAA), further boosting Dacom's leadership in the VoIP market in Korea.
