Alcatel Completes Railtel Telecom Network Throughout India

Alcatel has announced that it has completed the 5,000 km extension of the existing optical multi-service telecommunications transport network of Railtel Corp. of India, a subsidiary of Indian Railways.

This network enhancement further supports Railtel’s operational and business communication requirements, such as secure voice, video and data traffic transmission.

The extension project, which was awarded through Punjab Communications, a telecom and IT equipment and solution provider, follows the successful implementation of the 11,000 km backbone network supporting multimedia communications among Railtel's sites throughout India. Existing and new mission-critical business applications, supported by Gigabit Ethernet-based connectivity, are delivered over a single, converged platform that enables reliable, real-time access to monitoring and control information.

Alcatel supplied its data-aware Optical Multi-Service Node (OMSN) systems, providing advanced multi-service aggregation functionality, managed by the Alcatel 1350 management suite, which supervises the entire optical networking portfolio enabling complete control over optical networks and maximizing network service revenue.
