Nicolas Bouverot, Vimpelcom Global Account Director, said, “Within the Vimpelcom Group, Wind is well recognized due to its market success and because it fosters innovative technology to stay ahead of customer demand. Embracing Alcatel-Lucent’s 100G, transport and IP/MPLS technology to cope with mobile broadband services evolution is a prime example of the operator’s deep understanding of this market”
Gianluca Baini, CEO Alcatel-Lucent Italia, said, “Alcatel-Lucent and Wind have a longstanding relationship in the highly competitive European telecoms market. The choice of our overall solution highlights the confidence Wind has in our ability to design and deploy a network in preparation for its next step in network transformation.”
