Telecoms: Italy » Tiscali http://www.telecomsitaly.com News and comments about the Italian telecommunications market Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:39:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 Tiscali expands ULL sites http://www.telecomsitaly.com/2009/12/tiscali-expands-ull-sites/ http://www.telecomsitaly.com/2009/12/tiscali-expands-ull-sites/#comments Fri, 04 Dec 2009 08:15:50 +0000 Cazzani http://www.telecomsitaly.com/?p=928 Tiscali will expand its Italian infrastructure opening about 200 new ULL (Unbundling Local Loop) sites by mid-2010 adding them to the 486 sites already in operation.

As a result, Tiscali will be able to offer ULL-based services to about 40% of the Italian fixed lines.

Tiscali will be deploying the Infinera DTN for its national backbone network and Infinera ATN systems for its metro networks.

Tiscali is deploying the new Infinera ATN metro edge platform in more than 80 metro areas where it already has a strong network presence, including most major and medium-sized Italian cities such as Rome, Milan, Turin, and Palermo.

The ATN is designed to offer seamless integration with an Infinera DTN network with a common network management system, enabling end-to-end service provisioning and visibility.

According to Infinera: “With the ability to eliminate back-to-back transponders at network interconnection points, an ATN/DTN network can deliver savings in capital expenditure, while extending Infinera’s well-known ease of operation to the metro edge.”

Modeled after the British Office of the Telecoms Adjudicator-UK, the new OTA Italia office aims to prevent fighting among incumbent Telecom Italia and other OLOs licensed to operate in the country.

This move is part of a process agreed by Telecom Italia and AGCOM regarding the transparent and independent management of the access network following the creation of Telecom Italia’s Open Access division.

The founding members of OTA Italia include the regulatory authority AGCOM, operators BT, Fastweb, Opitel, Tiscali, TWT, Vodafone, Wind, and small providers’ societies AIIP and Assoprovider.

President of OTA Italia has been named  Guido Vannucchi, a 70+ years old  industry veteran and a former CEO of Alcatel Italia.
