Nokia and CommTel bring Soul Triple Play over DSL in Australia

CommTel Network Solutions Australia, a value added re-seller of Nokia’s network solutions, has signed an agreement for the supply and implementation of Nokia broadband DSL solutions and related services to the Soul group of companies all operating in Australia. Deliveries commenced in January 2006 and the system will be up and running during April 2006.

The Nokia D500 IP Multi Service Access Node was selected due to its unique ability to provide fast Internet access in excess of 24Mbps, IPTV, and Voice over IP (VoIP) in conjunction with Soul’s SIP-based softswitch. The 60Gbps scalable capacity provided in every Nokia D500 Node provides high quality of service and throughput for Soul’s diverse range of broadband customers and services, including capacity for up to 200 simultaneous fast-switching multicast video channels.

Soul is the new brand name for the SPT group of companies which includes Soul Pattinson Telecommunications, B Digital, Digiplus, Kooee and SPTCom (formerly Comindico) all operating in Australia. The Soul network is a fully converged video, voice and data IP-based network with distributed switching throughout regional Australia. These capabilities enable Soul to deliver broadband products and services, whether voice, video or data, through to the “last mile” on its own fully converged network throughout metropolitan, regional and rural Australia.
