Alcatel-lucent Expands Polish Cdma Fixed Wireless Network

Alcatel-Lucent, within the framework of three frame agreements with Poland's SFERIA, has upgraded and expanded the SFERIA network and is responsible for the maintenance of the operator's telecommunication wireless network based on CDMA2000 technology in the Warsaw calling area.

Under terms of the agreements, Alcatel-Lucent upgraded SFERIA's existing base stations, with CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology. Part of the project was the implementation by Alcatel-Lucent of a more efficient transport network to support increased traffic loads.

Alcatel-Lucent implemented several new end-user applications and new network management tools and was responsible for general deployment and other services and will continue to maintain the network.

"SFERIA is taking a significant step to expand their network and enhance the services they offer their customers, and we are proud to be selected to help them with this important project," said Andrzej Dulka, Country Senior Officer, Alcatel-Lucent in Poland.

In addition, under an extension of an existing maintenance agreement, Alcatel-Lucent services will provide spare parts management, first-line maintenance and remote technical support (RTS) services.

Alcatel-Lucent's relationship with SFERIA dates back to the first half of 2003, when Lucent signed a contract to upgrade SFERIA?s network to support CDMA2000 1X technology."
