TeliaSonera splashes out on IP VPN network

Nordic telco TeliaSonera has selected UK-owned technology provider Axiom Systems' Axioss Suite as the basis of a new rollout of IP-based virtual private network (VPN) services, incorporating the provision of carrier Ethernet services. TeliaSonera chose IT services provider Wipro Technologies to implement the new system as part of a global framework agreement which will enable the Swedish/Finnish-owned group to deploy potentially thousands of IP VPN sites across Sweden, Finland and Denmark, and to deliver a range of broadband services, including IPTV and VoIP telephony. Axioss is already used by TeliaSonera for the provision of PSTN services, Cross Domain Management and DSL services.
