NSN Wins Belgacom Deal

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Nokia Siemens Networks has won a contract to supply Ethernet last-mile access products to Belgacom’s Carrier Ethernet Backbone, which will feature data connectivity with higher bandwidth, better performance and increased security. With this deal, Belgacom extends its BLES offering (Belgacom LAN Extension Solutions) with “Belgacom Explore”, the path to real-time enterprises.

Under the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will supply, implement and service the ADVA Optical Networking FSP150 product line from its solutions portfolio. Belgium’s leading operator has already started the implementation of the new features, which is scheduled to continue over the next three years.

With the FSP150, Belgacom is able to simplify the transport and the management of its innovative, revenue-generating broadband services to enterprise and business customers. Its intelligent Ethernet features enable the verification of strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and facilitate immediate online supervision and support. It is one of the cornerstones of Belgacom’s application aware infrastructure.

"The Nokia Siemens Networks solution allows Belgacom to optimize our customers’ resources by providing seamless access to their business applications. Belgacom Explore is a converged communication platform with guaranteed quality of service and embedded security," said Bridget Cosgrave, COO Belgacom Fixed Line Services.
