Posted on: Tuesday, 21 October 2008, 12:00 CDT
Indian state-owned telecom operator BSNL has extended its contract with UTStarcom to build the second phase of a countrywide multiplay network launched in December 2007.
UTStarcom deployed 1.3 million broadband subscriber lines during the first phase of BSNL's (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) multiplay network deployment.
According to UTStarcom, during the second phase, it will deploy its iAN-8000 multiservice access node solution in 962 cities throughout India to enable the addition of 1.1 million new broadband subscriber lines. The network expansion is expected to enable BSNL accelerate its existing broadband connections on subscriber lines by more than 30 times the current speed.
Vijay Yadav, vice president and managing director of UTStarcom's South Asia operations, said: "This contract extension re-affirms BSNL's continued trust in UTStarcom's technology and excellent service and support. We are confident that the continued expansion of this network with the phase two deployment will help BSNL retain and improve on their customer base and revenues."
