Lucent Upgrades Telemar's Network in Brazil

Lucent Technologies announced contracts valued at approximately $5.7 million to upgrade Telemar's network in Brazil. As part of the project, Lucent will upgrade all Lucent 5ESS Switches in Telemar's network and integrate them with Telemar's 7IP next-generation network (NGN) platform. Other localities in the states of Minas Gerais and Maranhao will have access to the enhanced services from the 7IP NGN platform via Lucent BZ5000 switches that are connected to Lucent 5ESS switches.
