Neo-Sky prepares for Spanish field trials of mobile WiMAX

Alcatel-Lucent selected to provide turnkey network system and services for evaluation in Madrid.

Alcatel-Lucent today announced that it has been selected by service provider Neo-Sky in Spain to field trial an 802.16e-2005 mobile broadband network in Madrid.  Services anticipated for testing during the trial include Voice over IP (VoIP), high-speed Internet access and multimedia broadband for nomadic users. 

Neo-Sky 2002, S.A.  ("Neo-Sky") is a Spanish communications service provider offering high-capacity services for enterprises based on LMDS, fiber and satellite technology.  The provider is one of six operators to hold WiMAX spectrum licenses in Spain.  Clearwire's Aló-Broadcom, Euskaltel, France Telecom's Orange, Marin Telecom's aeromax and Telefónica's Iberbanda are the other five. 

The equipment vendor will provide Neo-Sky with an end-to-end WiMAX system, including base stations and WiMAX access controllers, and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core networking equipment, software and application platforms and end-user terminals.  The IMS architecture enables the delivery of advanced and personalized telephony and multimedia services from fixed and mobile access.  Design and planning services before deployment and maintenance and provisioning services after installation are also within the scope of the arrangement.

"With this WiMAX field trial we are laying the foundations to know the performances that the future commercial networks will be able to support to meet our corporate customer's requirements for easy-to-use wireless broadband services offering nomadic capabilities, including voice, data, and multimedia, and best-in-class quality of service." said Cesar Arranz, Executive President of Neo-Sky.  By using a standards-based infrastructure system, Neo-Sky will be able to select and offer a vast range of end-user devices by form, fit and function.
