DALLAS-Alcatel said the UMTS radio and core network it deployed for Austrian carrier Tele.ring has enabled it to launch its services in nine Austrian cities, including Vienna, Innsbruck, and Graz, accounting for about 30 percent of the country’s population.
“This news comes as a good illustration of Alcatel’s strategy,” said Jean-Charles Doineau, research director at Ovum. “They have been the first vendor to market truly multi-standard infrastructure, which is an approach towards which the industry may converge.”
