Alcatel-Lucent Launches IP Transformation Centre in Singapore
Alcatel-Lucent is planning on setting up a new Internet Protocol Transformation Centre (IPTC) in Singapore, to bolster its network of IPTCs worldwide. The first centre of its scale in Asia-Pacific, the Alcatel-Lucent IPTC will develop, integrate and test IP networking solutions.
Supported by the Economic Development Board of Singapore, the Asia IPTC is expected to host about 50 technologies and employ approximately 80 professionals, representing an investment of up to 20 million Euros over three years. The new centre will be co-located with the region’s first IPTV Competency Centre, launched by Alcatel-Lucent in February 2006.
The Asia-Pacific IPTC complements the existing IPTCs and Network Integration Centres located in Antwerp, Belgium; Lisle, Illinois and Plano, Texas. These centres, which share knowledge, resources and best practices, help service providers execute their IP Transformation projects.
“Shortening the IP transformation period and ensuring seamless customer network migration are the prime objectives of our global IP Transformation Centres and Network Integration Centres,” said John Meyer, President of Alcatel-Lucent’s Services activities.
"Last year, Alcatel opened its first IPTV and Triple-Play Centre of Competence for the region. Today, Alcatel-Lucent is opening its Asia-Pacific IP Transformation Centre. We are grateful to Alcatel-Lucent for its strong vote of confidence by choosing Singapore for its advanced technology centres. It demonstrates Singapore’s attractiveness as an excellent Asia-Pacific hub for a broad spectrum of infocomm innovation activities: from R&D and content development to system integration and deployment of new services and solutions for global markets", said Ko Kheng Hwa, Managing Director of the Economic Development Board.
Alcatel-Lucent is already working on several major IP transformation, triple play and IPTV projects in the region, including SingTel’s IPTV trials conducted in October last year.
