Bakrie Ties Up with Nortel for Network Expansion

Indonesia’s Pt Bakrie Telecom has announced the adoption of Nortel’s radio access, switching and optical solutions to boost the capacity and transmission capabilities of its wireless network.

Bakrie claims that the company is experiencing 55 percent growth and Nortel is helping it to support its continuing growth with highly secure and reliable world-class technology that keeps pace with the changing needs of the Indonesian market.

The Nortel solution for Bakrie Telecom consists of new CDMA Metro Cell Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) to enable cost-effective network growth and seamless, investment-protecting evolution, via a card upgrade, to Nortel's third generation (3G) 1xEV-DO CDMA infrastructure. At the network core, Bakrie is deploying Nortel's flexible DMS-MTX Circuit Switching Platform to enable subscribers to receive dependable, continuous service.

To provide high-speed connectivity between the Nortel DMS-MTX and the base stations, as well as enable transparent and efficient handoff of calls to other carrier networks, Nortel is providing solutions from its optical portfolio, including the high-capacity Optical Metro 4150 multiservice next generation SDH platform, the Optical Metro 3500 DWDM-capable next generation SONET platform, and the Optical TN-1X add/drop multiplexer to ensure high-reliability, high-flexibility transport of services.
