Williams Selects Nortel for Metro

ATLANTA, GA -- Continuing its aggressive, three-year local network expansion into 50 metropolitan markets across the United States, Williams Communications has selected SONET equipment and services from Nortel Networks for the first phase of its optical-in-the-metro environment launch.

Williams Communications will deploy Nortel Networks' metropolitan solution to connect markets to its existing long-haul network. Combined with a Nortel Networks' Preside* network management system already in place, this will give Williams Communications an end-to-end voice and data services solution.
