Cable & Wireless Jamaica and CODETEL (the Dominican Republic’s main telecommunications services provider) have each deployed Nortel Networks’ Passport 20000 Multiservice Switches. Both carriers will use the Passport 20000 as a core switching platform for voice and data traffic. The Passport 20000 also positions CODETEL to increase capacity for ATM, Frame Relay, private line and other existing services, while introducing IP VPNs and Layer 2 VPNs. Financial terms were not disclosed. Nortel Networks said the installations mark the first deployment of Passport 20000s in the Caribbean or Latin America.
