Nortel Powering Clearwire’s VoIP Service
By Mark Evans | January 23, 2008
If you push aside Nortel’s struggles to re-invent/restructure itself, one of the company’s strengths is providing carriers and cablecos with technology to offer VoIP services.
A relatively new customer for Nortel is Clearwire, Craig McCaw’s WiMax service provider that has been working to carve out a wireless broadband business in the U.S.
Clearwire wants to expand into VoIP by using Nortel’s Application Server 5200 and Communication Server 2000 into its data centers.
Nortel’s Robert Scheible told LightReading that Clearwire’s move into VoIP is the first step in a plan to offer more products and services.
“Nortel works very closely with the carriers that are out there to help them evolve their network and take them to the next step,” said Scheible, senior manager of VOIP product marketing for Nortel. “This is not a final capability when they purchase a solution like this. This is really just a stepping stone to even further broaden offerings from their networks.”
