Lucent Technologies (Quote) said it has won pacts with the Korean National Railroad and the Seoul Metropolitan Government to provide high-capacity metro optical networking systems for their enhanced communications networks.
The financial details behind both pacts were not revealed.
Korean National Railroad (KNR), an administrative organization under the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, awarded Lucent Technologies a contract to purchase 70 Lucent WaveStar ADM 16/1 systems and associated management systems, called the Integrated Transport Management (ITM) system. KNR plans to use the equipment to connect its 1885 stations and offices with a high-speed communications system by replacing its existing copper cable network with an optical network by 2005.
The new optical network will help KNR meet the increasing demands of its 118 million passengers a year through new services such as an on-line ticketing service and railroad information systems.
The Lucent WaveStar ADM 16/1 system is capable of transmitting up to 2.5 gigabits per second (Gbps) on a single fiber, enough capacity for the simultaneous transmission of 2,500 books or 32,000 phone calls per second.
Installation of the new system is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
Meantime, the Seoul Metropolitan Government selected Lucent to supply its WaveStar ADM 16/1system to build an "Information Highway," an advanced optical network linking metropolitan buildings throughout Seoul. This contract expands Seoul's existing WaveStar ADM 16/ 1 network, which was deployed last year. Lucent will deploy six systems in the branch offices by the end of March 2002, officials said.
Last year the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the administrative organization of the capital of Korea, initiated "e-Seoul 2001," a project aimed to improve the "efficiency of administration and to provide various information for its citizens based on an intelligent information infrastructure," officials said.
