China Telecom Picks CommVerge Solutions

BEIJING -- In line with China Telecom’s goal to be one of the world’s leading Telecommunications Service Providers and to give world-class voice and data services to its subscribers, China Telecom (USA) has signed a contract with CommVerge Solutions for the deployment of optical transport systems to enhance China Telecom’s existing core network’s connection to the United States.

With nodes already installed to connect China Telecom (USA)’s customers in several U.S. cities, the Optical Transport solution will help China Telecom (USA) provide faster and easier access to its network. China Telecom (USA) will also be able to offer new voice and data service to their existing customers, and to attract additional ones by offering a wider range of advanced services to existing and potential customers.

The project commissioned CommVerge Solutions to deploy Cisco ONS 15454 equipment across the U.S. In addition to network integration and provisioning services, CommVerge Solutions will also provide training to China Telecom (USA)’s engineers.

A senior official of China Telecom (USA) commented, “CommVerge Solutions worked very closely with our teams in the U.S. and in China to get a thorough understanding of our business and operational requirements, then developed a network solution that best met our needs.” He added, “We have worked with CommVerge Solutions on multiple projects in the past, and when it came time for us to find the right network integrator to provide us with U.S. network enhancement, CommVerge was a natural choice.”

“CommVerge has built a strong track record with our customers by consistently providing world-class solutions and services. We are proud to have been selected by China Telecom (USA) for this project, and are keen to provide them with the same level of service and support in the U.S. as we have done on previous engagements with China Telecom within China,” said Raymond Sun, president of CommVerge Solutions China. “As an Asian network integrator with global presence, this is one of the key values that we bring to our customers: the ability to provide them with seamless and consistent service wherever their network deployments may take them.”
