Proximus Chooses Italtel to Decommission Its Legacy Switched Network for Migration to Next Generation Architecture

Italtel, a leading company in Next Generation Networks, Value Added Services and global IP-IP communication, today announced it has been selected by Proximus to decommission its legacy fixed switched network and migrate it to a next generation network.

The project assigned to Italtel will be completed in the next four years and is a subproject in Proximus' overall legacy consolidation effort called Mantra.

A number of advantages will be achieved by the decommissioning of Proximus' legacy network, including reduced operating costs and increased reliability in terms of operations and network management. At the same time, the new all-digital network will allow Proximus to meet its customers' ever-changing needs by offering even more digital and high-value services which could not be delivered on the legacy network.

The Proximus' Mantra Program was launched at the end of 2013. A joined Proximus and Italtel team is currently deploying the migration of the Proximus product portfolio on the new IP based infrastructure, in order to phase out the legacy network technologies and optimize the network infrastructure.
