Just imagine. The newly installed IP Telephony platform by the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) has managed to handle more than one million VoIP calls in a single day. The IP Telephony platform has been developed by BT. But, why is Nortel in news for that historic achievement?
A TMC blog post reveals that BT has used Nortel VoIP solutions for the development and deployment of DWP’s IP network. It includes Nortel’s Communication Server 2000 Carrier class softswitch, 24,000 Nortel handsets (Nortel 2002 model), 4000 fax and other analogue devices, Nortel DWDM Optical and network security products and Nortel hosted service.
BT-supported DWP’s Integrated Communications Network is one of the largest converged data and voice networks in Europe covering more than 435 sites in UK. The newly installed IP network provides communication services to nearly 35,000 users in UK.
