Telstra Selects Nortel to Deliver Next-Generation Internet Services

Nortel Networks (Brampton, ON) has been selected to provide advanced Internet Protocol (IP) networking solutions as well as support services to carrier and service provider Telstra (Melbourne, Australia). These solutions and services are estimated to be worth between US$100 million and US$200 million and cover components of Telstra's project called Data Mode of Operation (DMO).

The latest win builds on the companies' relationship and previous dealings, which include the construction of a national CDMA wireless network in Australia, announced in 1998, and trials of high-speed Wireless Internet services. The overall business with Telstra is estimated to potentially be worth up to US$650 million over five years.
