Nortel bags public sector deals across APAC

By EgovAsia Editors | Nov 10, 2009

Nortel has recently won significant public sector deals in several countries across the Asia Pacific region that cover a range of emerging networking technologies including Unified Communications (UC), Ethernet Routing Switches, contact center deployments and virtual collaboration environments.

Nortel has seen recent success with public sector investments in Australia and New Zealand, Greater China, India, South East Asia and Japan. Central and local government departments, healthcare institutions, educational establishments, court systems, tax offices, energy and transport network providers have all upgraded or deployed new communications environments as the region’s central services have dramatically improved the way in which they communicate both internally and with their external stakeholders such as citizens, suppliers and other government departments.

The government court systems in two of the region’s most populous cities have invested in Nortel Unified Communications and Ethernet Routing Switch solutions. There are changing demands within modern courts, as court employees are required to be available to their clients and co-workers anytime, anywhere. This has created a high demand for end-to-end UC technologies, including full 10GE backbone support to the desktop, and leading edge UC applications. In one instance, the court was able to streamline its operations by deploying a powerful and secure data network from Nortel to support a centralized judicial system database.
