Telefonica chooses Alcatel-Lucent for Spanish 100G fiber-optic network
Telefonica has selected the 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) from Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) as the cornerstone of a 100-Gbps upgrade to the carrier’s fiber-optic network throughout the northwest, eastern, and southern portions of Spain. The Spanish incumbent seeks the increased capacity in its regional networks to meet the demands the increasing adoption of 4G LTE mobile wireless services, cloud services, and video have sparked.
