United Telecommunications Services (UTS), a Caribbean-based telecommunications service provider, has selected Nokia Siemens Networks equipment and services for high-speed data services upgrade.

Nokia Siemens Networks supplied hiT 7300 dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) platform to provide a reliable and scalable backbone network, and hiT 7080 multi-service provisioning platform for a flexible means of offering new services to UTS.

In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks also supplied its all-in-one network management system, which optimises network operations through centralised control and supervision, along with implementation services that supported the deployment, said the company.

Nokia Siemens Networks also provided network implementation and care services supporting the rollout.

Nokia Siemens Networks Caribbean business development head Michael Jakob said their 40G offering is helping UTS meet their customers’ current demand for data services and will expand with them into the future.

"Our aim was to assure UTS of a reliable and low-cost network platform, complemented by world-class service and support, which can help them reduce operating costs while offering truly competitive services," Jakob said.
