Cable & Wireless Selects Nortel for VoIP in the Caymans

Cable & Wireless Cayman Islands will deploy products from Nortel Networks’ Succession VoIP and Multimedia Communications portfolios for its next generation network. The two year, US$17 million agreement includes Nortel Networks’ Multimedia Communication Server 5200, which uses open standards-based software and commercially available hardware to deliver multimedia and collaboration services that can be integrated with existing telephone services. It will also include the latest IP enhancements to Nortel Networks Succession Media Gateway 9000, a leading-edge access gateway designed to transition revenue-generating telephony services onto a packet infrastructure. Cable & Wireless Cayman Islands is expected to be the second service provider worldwide to deploy these enhancements. Cable & Wireless will also deploy Nortel Networks Succession Communication Server 2000-Compact superclass softswitches, and products from the Nortel Networks Passport and Nortel Networks OPTera portfolios. http://www.nortelnetworks.com
