Krasnodar PTT has placed an initial order for three Telspec service nodes to support the launch of advanced services for customers. The nodes will be installed in the existing telecoms network by the end of March 2001. Further orders are expected to be placed with Telspec during 2001 as demand for services grows, and new services are introduced. The service nodes are therefore particularly attractive to traditional PTTs planning to upgrade their networks for IP-based services. The distributed architecture of an Intelligent service platform, with several nodes in the host network, mean that an operator can start small, and add additional nodes as service demand grows.
Additional services can also be quickly and easily added.
All the services can be offered universally to all the users anywhere in the network. A centralised management system links all the servers, and allows service changes to be a automatically and simultaneously implemented in every service node. Telspec develops, manufactures and supplies specialised communications systems and solutions for use in networks that carry Internet and telephony services. These include specialised switching and service nodes for the base network as well as access and customer premises systems for voice and high-speed Internet services. Telspec have products in service with a variety of customers in more than 30 countries.
