The announcement was made today during the World Broadband Forum in Berlin.
Telecommunications manufacturer Alcatel-Lucent has completed the installation of a system at Telefónica's central offices that will facilitate network operation and maintenance by automatically restoring traffic and improving network reliability, the company announced.
The announcement was made today on the occasion of the World Broadband Forum, which is being held in Berlin (Germany), where this company has presented its latest developments.
It also announced an agreement with the French company Neuf Cegetl to deploy a Gigabit Ethernet-based passive optical network solution, which will allow it to offer advanced triple play services (voice, data and television), including high definition.
With the mobile operator SFR, also from France, it has signed another agreement to supply an IP/MPLS backbone network to migrate voice and data traffic to a flexible, secure and cost-effective communications platform.
In Japan, Alcatel-Lucent has been selected to supply IP routers to NTT Communications for high-quality services over IP/MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks, which allow the transmission of large amounts of data over IP media and optimize costs.
Regarding the future of the IPTV (IP protocol-based television) sector, the president of the company's transport activities, Michel Rahier, stated today during a telephone press conference that revenues now come more from advertising, rather than data transit.
According to Rahier, consumers are "ready" for an IPTV environment in which advertising forms an important part of it.
