Nokia to Deliver SDH Solution to Cable London of the UK
April 17, 1996
Cable London of the UK, and Nokia Telecommunications, have signed a five year contract for the supply of a total SDH solution to meet the needs of business and residential telephony in Cable London’s North London franchises. The contract is valued at GBP 15 million.
"Nokia has supplied PDH equipment to Cable London for a number of years, and the new SDH equipment will initially work alongside this to complete our network build, and will then be retrofitted to earlier sites," according to Mr Neil Johnson, Managing Director of Cable London.
"SDH technology is central to Cable London’s future strategy. We are a leading edge service provider and Nokia’s comprehensive solution will ensure that we remain at the forefront, providing the best possible solutions to our customers. In particular we have been very happy to date with the level of service and support which Nokia provides."
"This agreement strengthens our successful relationship with Cable London," said Mr Kari Suneli, Senior VP of Nokia Telecommunications Access Systems, "It also underlines our competences in the area of SDH technology and highlights our commitment to providing complete solutions for cable operators."
The contract incorporates the purchase of Nokia’s SYNFONET SDH solution, as well as ACM2 primary multiplexing equipment, the NMS management system, and a service agreement.
As part of the complete Nokia transmission solution, SYNFONET provides a managed, reliable and cost-effective network, which seamlessly interconnects the telecommunications users with the services of the operator. Nokia currently has 25 SDH customers in 11 countries.
Cable London is one of the leading cable operators in the UK, with a total of five franchises in the north London area. Cable London is jointly owned and financed by two of the world’s largest multi-national telecommunications organisations, Comcast and TeleWest.
