Alcatel-Lucent has signed a centralised purchasing contract with China Telecom, a telecom operator in China, to provide and maintain an IP/MPLS backbone across ten provinces (Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Ningxia, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guizhou, Gansu, Xinjiang and Shanghai).

Upon completion in October, China Telecom hopes to deliver advanced broadband services with improved quality. The contract, which is part of the $700m framework agreement recently signed between China Telecom and Alcatel-Lucent, was awarded to Alca-Lu’s Chinese flagship company, Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell.

Alca-Lu informed that it will deploy its 7750 Service Router (SR) and 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS) providing the bandwidth, scale and service awareness required to support the market for more personalised, broadband offerings such as IPTV, WebTV, Virtual Private Networks, and 3G/4G mobile.
