23rd May 2005 - Tellas, a leading wireline alternative
operator in Greece, has selected Ericsson as Solution
Supplier and System Integrator for its Video Call Service
offering to fixed subscribers. This is the first such
service launch in Greece and one of the very few in
Europe today.
Video Call Service offers an enriched communication
experience to end-users (domestic and business) and
is available to all subscribers of Tellas fixed telephony
services. By using an SIP-enabled video-phone terminal,
Tellas subscribers will be able to make and receive
both normal voice calls as well as video calls simply
by using their existing telephone connection. The Video
Call Service is currently offered over normal PSTN or
ISDN lines, which makes it very attractive for any fixed
telephony user in Greece.
"By being the first to launch yet another innovative
service in the Greek market, easily accessible to all,
Tellas confirms once again its ability and commitment
to offering advanced telecommunication services to the
Greek people," said Andrea Costa, Vice-Chairman & CEO,
Tellas. "We have had a successful relationship with
Ericsson since our first day of operation and Ericsson
has proven its commitment and ability in delivering
this solution as well," added Costa.
"We are pleased that Tellas has entrusted Ericsson
as the System Integrator and Supplier of such an advanced
Solution, which is being launched for the first time
in Greece and is one of the few implementations in Europe,"
said Bill Zikou, President, Ericsson South East Europe.
"This contract further strengthens our relationship
with Tellas and confirms our commitment to the development
of the Greek market."
Under the agreement, Ericsson has seamlessly integrated
the provided solution into the existing TDM and IP network
of Tellas. The offered solution is part of Ericsson's
total offering for a full-fledged multimedia service
platform, including future broadband IP applications.
