Telecommunications equipment and network offerings provider ZTE has been selected by European fixed network operator Turk Telekom, as the sole supplier of core network equipment and services for a nationwide all-IP network transformation project.
According to ZTE, the total capacity of the network will be 17.5 million lines with more than 31 sites. The company will offer a comprehensive offering including an IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) core network, a service platform, MSANs (multi-service access nodes) and large-capacity trunking gateways.
ZTE said this network will enable Turk Telekom to launch converged services including VoBB (VoIP over broadband), VCC (voice call continuity), converged one number, converge centrex, UMS (unified message service), MMS (multimedia messaging service), MRBT (multimedia ring back tone) and NP (number portability).
Xu Ziyang, president of core network products at ZTE, said: "ZTE’s cutting-edge next generation all-IP core network solution fully meets Turk Telekom’s requirements of migrating its legacy PSTN to a converged multi-service network which will enable the operator to rapidly complete its business transformation and maintain the leading position in the local market."
