Kuwait's State Ministry of Communications (MOC) is buying a gigabit passive optical network (GPON) solution that will serve about 60 per cent of the access areas involved in the present roll-out. The solution will enable the MOC to offer triple-play services (voice, video and data) to subscribers via a fibre to the user (FTTU) architecture. As MOC's strategic partner for this project, Alcatel will support the full end-to-end system integration for both the network and the service roll out.
The new network will be the platform from which an extensive range of broadband and narrowband services will be provided to Kuwaiti homes. It will position Kuwait as the country with the most advanced telecommunications infrastructure in the region said Nabeel Bin Salamah, assistant Undersecretary, Kuwait MOC.
MOC's access network will be gradually upgraded by replacing the existing copper access with a passive optical fibre infrastructure. Subscribers will benefit from Alcatel's state-of-the art converged access infrastructure that enables the delivery of services like voice, high speed internet, voice and multimedia over IP, and IPTV (including high definition TV, video on demand, and home entertainment).
