Lucent Partners with New England Voice &
Data for Network Expansion
In a move that will expand the network of Marlboro, Mass.-based New England Voice &
Data, Murray Hill, N.J.-based Lucent Technologies Inc. has been awarded a $30 million,
three-year contract to provide the infrastructure for a state-of-the-art voice and data
network buildout.
The expanded network will enable New England Voice & Data to provide its customers
with a single source for local and long distance phone service, as well as high-speed
data, Internet and information services. The expanded network architecture is based on
Lucent’s 5ESS switching platform and is supported by Lucent data networking products.
