Alcatel-Lucent, Telefonica collaborated
2011-09-15Alcatel-Lucent has collaborates with Telefónica in its initiative to deliver superfast 4G mobile broadband services to people in Europe with the deployment of LTE technology that will enable the launch of the first 4G wireless network in Spain.
The 4G pre-commercial pilot networks in Madrid and Barcelona - based on LTE (Long Term Evolution) mobile broadband technology - will enable Telefonica to test different applications and services that can take advantage of the blazingly fast Internet connections that 4G LTE delivers. The project is to give Telefonica the opportunity to explore the overall performance and cost advantages of the technology.
For this project Alcatel-Lucent is to provide Telefonica with a complete, end-to-end 4G LTE solution - including LTE base stations (eNodeBs), all-IP wireless Evolved Packet Core (EPC), and subscriber data management capabilities based on our IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) portfolio. Alcatel-Lucent also will build, operate and maintain the network on Telefonica's behalf allowing Telefonica to focus on developing the best service for their customers while taking advantage of Alcatel-Lucent's world-class operations experience.
