OpenNet consortium, the Network Company (NetCo) of Singapore’s Next Generation National Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN), has committed to deploy fiber to every home and office in Singapore.
With the help of Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE:ALU), OpenNet has achieved its target of 60% nationwide coverage by 2010, and is on track to reach 95% by 2012. Meeting this target completes the second phase of their fiber network rollout.
Alcatel-Lucent’s Business and Operations Support Systems (BSS/OSS) is an important component in contributing to this achievement. The BSS/OSS will enable OpenNet to be fully automated in its network operations. This is the first time that a single systems integrator has provided an entire end to end BSS/OSS solution for a telco in an NBN environment.
Congratulations to OpenNet on this major milestone. It is a significant step towards the successful rollout of Singapore's Next Gen NBN,” said Rajeev Singh-Molares, president of Alcatel-Lucent’s activities in Asia Pacific.
We are committed to providing OpenNet with unique expertise combining IT, OSS/BSS, network integration, service delivery platforms (SDP) and multi vendor application integration. This is a large deployment on an aggressive schedule, and we look forward to working with OpenNet on the successful completion of this project.
The solution provided OpenNet with an open access environment which allows them to provide vital services and handling interactions with other Operating Companies (OpCos) and Qualifying Parties (QPs).
Alcatel-Lucent is a global leader in OSS/BSS and SDP, serving more than 250 customers worldwide in 80 countries.
