BellSouth Selects Nortel Networks Packet Voice Tandem Solution

BellSouth has selected Nortel Networks to provide packet voice tandem switches for its core network, with deployment expected later this year. This Packet Voice Tandem solution will include Nortel Networks Succession Communication Server 2000 (CS 2000) and Succession Multiservice Gateway 4000 (MG 4000) products. The CS 2000 will operate as a tandem switch in BellSouth’s network, transferring calls between BellSouth’s central offices. The MG 4000 is a trunking gateway that can reduce tandem congestion and help lower network costs. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.nortelnetworks.com
