China Telecom has selected Alcatel-Lucent IP core and edge routing technologies to cater for the expansion of its 4G LTE network. The portfolio, which includes Alcatel-Lucent's 7950 XRS IP Core Router and 7750 Service Router is expected to help China Telecom to meet the booming customer demand from the 4G LTE services.
According to Alcatel-Lucent, the 7950 XRS, already in use in Jiangsu province and Shanghai, will manage the increasing traffic in the urban data centers of Beijing – China’s capital city and one of the world’s most populous cities - as well as the financial hub of Guangzhou. Alcatel-Lucent’s 7750 Service Router will be deployed across seven major provinces. All deployments will be completed in preparation for service in China Telecom’s network in December, said Alcatel-Lucent.
