TELUS hires Tekelec to help with LTE migration

By on January 12, 2010 at 8:21am in Asides, Mobile News, Telus Mobility News, Various News

Even though TELUS just launched their HSPA network, planning is already on the way for their LTE (long term evolution) technology. In a press release this morning they have hired on Morrisville, N.C. based Tekelec to implement “an IP-based network architecture that lowers transport costs and increases bandwidth for network signaling while maximizing the value of current network technology. The TELUS network upgrades also provide the operator with more comprehensive international roaming and faster mobile broadband speeds.”

Ken Kerrigan, TELUS vice-president of technology strategy said “Interoperability among equipment underpins our ability to improve customers’ services and experiences. Tekelec brings a flexible and scalable SIGTRAN solution, ensuring that we can support a combination of network technologies as we grow our customer base and provide new offerings.”

  1. Will be interesting to see how Telus justifies banning VOIP applications in its Terms and Conditions once the IP-based LTE system is up and running.

    Oh, what’s that? There’s no technical justification even now and it’s only Telus trying to protect its revenue stream? You don’t say.

  2. Oh well, without the revenue, we won’t have LTE. Now you have the choice to go somewhere else, with spotty coverage, etc.

    When government was the Post, Telephone & Telegraph company.
