Marconi Selected for BT's 21CN Trials

Marconi confirmed that its SoftSwitch and Access Hub will be used in BT's 21CN trials to deliver voice services to up to 3,000 BT customers. The trial is expected to take place from October 2004 through September 2005 and will be used by BT to evaluate ways of transitioning its PSTN infrastructure to a next-generation network architecture.



Marconi's Access Hub has already gone live in BT's network under a three-year frame contract signed in August 2003. It is now providing ADSL services to BT's customers. http://www.marconi.com
