Huawei Technologies, a specialist in providing next-generation telecommunication solutions to operators, today announced that, responding to the urgent needs of the Austrian market, it has successfully implemented a replacement of T-Mobile Austria's core data network three months ahead of planned schedule.
T-Mobile Austria, which has offered high-speed mobile data network using 3G technology, had earlier selected Huawei's Intelligent IP core packet network to replace the existing system. Huawei moved the schedule ahead by 3 months, which brought 50% reduction in the planned deployment schedule of SGSN. This was accomplished without any impact on existing customer services and without compromising any of the rigorous testing, says Huawei.
In addition to the ability to handle large amounts of user data – up to 30Gbps – Huawei packet switch core network has the ability to intelligently route and manage customer data based on the needs of T-Mobile and its customers. By responding to the protocols, destination and other usage information, the Intelligent IP packet switch core provides service tailored to each type of session and supports the creation of new services. Beyond the current needs, Huawei's system is built on a platform that is equipped to support next generation mobile broadband, known as LTE (Long Term Evolution). By simply loading new software, the system can be upgraded to support the new functionality of LTE/SAE.
Mr. Jim Burke, CTO of T-Mobile Austria, said: "Given Huawei's dedicated expert team and advanced packet switch core network solution, Huawei really surprised us by this flawless delivery. They fulfilled our expectations and we are proud of the result. As a company we are always looking for new ways to demonstrate our continuing track record as an innovator in the Austrian marketplace."
"Being customer-centric is one of Huawei's strategies and a key to our success," said Mr. Cai Liqun, president of Huawei Core Network. "We spared no effort to help T-Mobile complete their packet core project and shorten time to market with outstanding quality. The packet core will help T-Mobile maintain its leadership in the mobile Internet era and is an outstanding example of the large-scale commercial application of a new-generation packet core network."
