Sep 03, 2010 (Trend News Agency - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
Azerbaijani Communications and Information Technologies Ministry's Production Unit Baku Telephone Network has completed works on electronization and transfer of several automated telephone exchanges (ATE) of Baku to NGN technology, the Ministry said.
According to the Ministry, in the coming days, the operator will commission new stations based on NGN in Yasamal, Nizami districts of Baku. Also, the operator will put into operation a new electronic automated telephone exchange in the Garadagh district.
Electronic telephone network and introduction of next generation network will enable the operator to increase number capacity by more than 7,000 numbers.
Transition to the NGN network is one of the priorities with which the operator intends to stimulate the growth segment of new services in the long term prospect. The new system will allow the operator to provide IP-telephony services, broadband Internet and IP-TV along with traditional communication services.
Today, more than 60 percent of existing automatic telephone exchange is based on next generation networks.
Baku Telephone Communications uses solutions, routers, and equipment of Huawei, ZTE and Cisco companies to provide reliable communications and broadband Internet network. It is allows to organize DATA-network between automatic telephone exchange with data transfer rates of from 1 to 10 Gbps.
Alternative network SDH-Ethernet is involved in the different segments of the network. It allows organizing communication channels E1 through the existing network SDH over IP-based networks.
According to the plans of the Production Unit Baku Telephone Network by late 2010 coordinate ATE 438 and 494 will be fully decommissioned. By conducting the reconstruction works on these ATEs the operator intends to achieve 100-percent electronization of the entire network infrastructure. NGN (Next Generation Network) equipments have been already installed at these stations and after holding expansion works the station of coordinate type will become the thing of the past.
The operator also plans to reconstruct ATE 493, which functions on obsolescent DMS technology.
