Telecom Italia takes 's biggest step in Voice over IP with Cisco Systems and Italtel

(…….)

100% of Telecom Italia's national - voice calls and 50% of its international European voice calls now run over a converged “VoIP/MPLS" network

“We chose VoIP because we could save two thirds of our transit operating expenses and give our customers and shareholders a better service. By the end of 2003, we estimate that 80% of Telecom Italia's transit voice traffic will travel over the Cisco Systems and Italtel Multiservice solution. We chose Cisco Systems and Italtel because they had the most reliable solution. Cisco Systems has more experience in IP technology and VoIP than any other infrastructure company and the partnership with Italtel provides additional expertise in the switching carrier environment"
