Orange Polska, in partnership with Nokia has successfully completed a pilot project to prepare for the mass migration of Orange's legacy public switched telephone network (PSTN) services to an all-IP network ready to support current and future broadband needs.
Poland is one of Orange Group's leading pilot technology markets in a larger global effort to implement an All-IP Transformation Program to replace legacy systems.
The two companies conducted a pilot to migrate 4,000 subscribers in a suburban area of Warsaw, leveraging Nokia PSTN Smart Transform professional services capabilities along with a Network Migration Operating Center in Poland. All legacy PSTN services were successfully migrated to a modern unified IP network, with no impact on customer experience, enabling Orange to achieve significant operational benefits including energy savings and real estate optimization.
Rafal Dziedzic, Director Technology and Operations Strategy, Orange Polska
Implementation of the All-IP program supports Orange Polska's ambition to retain leadership in the digital economy and ultra-broadband innovations in Poland, and will streamline our network and services operations to deliver simplification and optimized costs to better serve our customers.
Federico Guillen, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks business group
Migrating away from traditional PSTN networks is a process that can be extremely difficult, complex and expensive without the right expertise. At Nokia, we deliver a set of transformation services based on fully automated processes and tools to ensure a smooth migration, avoiding costly errors and ensuring zero user impact.
