Solution Includes Carrier Ethernet Technology from Riverstone Networks as Well as Infrastructure and Software from Other Lucent Partners MOSCOW, Nov. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lucent Technologies and OOO "MPO Classica" (CLASSICA CIS), a Lucent Business Partner in Russia, today announced that CLASSICA CIS has completed the first phase of building a next-generation network for ZAO Petersburg Transit Telecom (PTT), a carrier's carrier in the St. Petersburg area. PTT's new Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network supports Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) based on carrier Ethernet technology from Riverstone Networks and equipment from other vendors. PTT also is testing infrastructure management software from Dorado Software, Inc. as part of the solution. Lucent is supplying the equipment and software under reseller agreements with Riverstone and Dorado Software. Lucent Worldwide Services will provide technical warranty support to CLASSICA CIS for the solution. The new MPLS/VPLS network will help PTT increase its subscriber base, provide the quality of traditional voice and data services and introduce new advanced voice and data services to its enterprise and residential customers in St. Petersburg. For example, PTT will now be able to support high-speed data services (up to 1 Gigabit per second), voice traffic and Internet access for enterprises as well as the delivery of content-rich multimedia voice, data and video services ("triple play") to residential customers in the future. VPLS capability can enable PTT to provide multimedia content more efficiently across a cost-effective Ethernet transport network from a single source to multiple subscribers. The MPLS/VPLS solution supplied by Lucent and CLASSICA CIS to PTT includes Riverstone Networks' carrier Ethernet equipment, which adds to the capabilities of PTT's existing ATM network based on Lucent's GX 550(R) Multiservice WAN Switches. "We are very satisfied with the work done by CLASSICA CIS within this project," said Eugeny Vassiliev, PTT's general director. "CLASSICA CIS' highly professional team provided their services on time and with good quality. Our new multiservice network allows us to introduce new value-added services and will result in increased revenues and operational efficiencies. We will now be able to provide customers in St. Petersburg with access to a wide variety of telecom services and grow the community of high-speed Internet users in our city." "We already have experience in building similar metro area networks in other regions of Russia," commented Vitaly Moseev, general director of CLASSICA CIS. "We succeeded in ensuring the reliability of data services and access to a wide range of advanced telecom services while securing PTT's investments and increasing the efficiency of operating the network." "Our global strategic partnership with Riverstone Networks helps us find the most cost-efficient way to build next-generation networks for service providers," said Dmitri Kamensky, managing director, Lucent Technologies Russia and CIS. "CLASSICA CIS, one of our Business Partners in Russia, also was able to execute this project quickly and flawlessly." The solution for PTT includes Riverstone Networks' RS 8000, RS 8600 and RS 3100 Ethernet routers, as well as elements of Dorado Software's Redcell(R) suite of network and service configuration management software. CLASSICA CIS specialists provided a full set of professional services for deployment, including equipment delivery, installation, and testing as well as system integration into the existing network.
