Alcatel-Lucent is providing its 100 gigabit-per-second agile optical networking technology to Telecom Italia as the Italian national service provider transforms its infrastructure to support the delivery of ultra-broadband Internet and TV services for residential and business consumers. With the 100G optical technology, Telecom Italia aims to transform core and metro transport network to meet the ever-increasing demand for data services.

According to Alcatel-Lucent, it will deploy its 1830 Photonic Service Switch (1830 PSS) that will enable Telecom Italia to enhance the delivery of high-performance, low-latency services to business customers and provide a cost-effective backhaul solution for residential ultra-broadband access. The ROADM-based architecture allows the automated provisioning of wavelengths at optical nodes to dynamically meet traffic demands and boost network scale and efficiency.

Roberto Loiola, Senior Vice-President, South and Centre Europe at Alcatel-Lucent
To be selected by a leading operator such as Telecom Italia for the evolution of its transport network towards 100G and beyond, confirms our technology leadership in the IP and optics domain. Working side by side with customers to help them seize and create new opportunities is our mission and we are proud and eager to work with Telecom Italia to once again change the communications landscape in Italy, leveraging the R&D assets and capabilities both companies have in our country.
