Lucent Technologies has been executing the second phase of the ATM multiservice network for Netia, one of Poland's largest independent telecommunications service providers

The first stage of the network was completed by Lucent during 2002. Lucent will deliver and install its CBX 500 Multiservice WAN switches in Netia's ATM broadband network. This network expansion will significantly increase Netia's ability to more efficiently offer enhanced data services (such as SDSL and Advanced Frame Relay) to its business customers. Under the terms of the contract signed in July 2000, Netia has deployed Lucent CBX-500 and B-STDX 9000 Multiservice WAN switches, DSL MAX 20 digital subscriber line access concentrators, DSLPipe customer premises equipment. Fault, performance, and provisioning are managed by the NavisCore and NavisXtend network management software, part of the Navis iOperations software portfolio of open, standards-based network and element management systems. By adding CBX 500 switches with new 32-port E1 Frame Relay/IP cards and the latest releases of NavisCore and NavisXtend software into the network, Netia will be able to replace the embedded B-STDX 9000 switches while maintaining service quality, resulting in savings in network operations and management costs.
