TOKYO -- Cable West Inc., a leading cable services provider in Japan, has deployed a converged IP network solution from Nortel (NYSE:NT)(TSX:NT) to provide IP telephony services to subscribers, and to enable real-time video distribution and high-speed data sharing among its six subsidiary cable companies.

Cable West Inc. and its six subsidiaries serve approximately 1.5 million households in each of 12 cities and one town in Japan's Osaka prefecture, the second most populous prefecture after Tokyo.

Based on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, the high-performance IP network has been optimized for real-time, bandwidth-intensive IP video and data transmission to increase employee productivity and reduce costs. It also provides a single, converged network for the efficient and cost-effective delivery of IP telephony services to cable subscribers. Network design and integration has been implemented by Nortel channel partner UNIADEX, Ltd.

"Nortel's Gigabit Ethernet solution will meet Cable West's stringent network performance requirements for video and data transport, while providing a fully integrated, high-speed data transmission platform that is easily scalable to accommodate growth," said Nick Vreugdenhil, country manager, Japan, Nortel. "Cable West's shift to a converged IP network will also ensure the highest levels of quality and service for its recently introduced IP telephony service."
