Alcatel-Lucent set to optimise Telenor’s mobile Internet experience

Alcatel-Lucent and Telenor Group have signed a three-year global frame agreement that will give customers fast, buffering-free mobile video and improve overall Internet service quality. The agreement will enable the deployment of mobile Internet optimisation for Telenor’s 2G, 3G and 4G networks in Europe and Asia.

Alcatel-Lucent will help Telenor address the challenges caused by mobile users accessing over the top (OTT) video from sites like YouTube or Netflix.

Telenor will deploy technology that automatically manages the delivery of Internet traffic over a mobile network, optimising the experience for customers watching video and accessing web content while ensuring a surge in demand does not affect those using the network for other activities.

Alcatel-Lucent will provide its professional services expertise including system architecture, design, planning, and end-to-end integration and testing to provide a tailored solution for each of Telenor’s markets.
