KPN Standardizes on Intelliden for IP Network Automation and Zero Touch Activation
Intelliden Key to Driving Revenue Acceleration from New Value Added Services and Operating Expense Reductions
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - April 27, 2006 - Intelliden Inc., a leading provider of standards-based network automation solutions, today announced that Dutch communications service provider KPN, has selected the Intelliden R-Series® 4.4 solution for IP network automation and 'zero touch' activation. Intelliden 4.4 will play a pivotal role in KPN's overall "Attack-Defend-Exploit" business strategy for both traditional and new service markets across Europe. Intelliden will enable KPN to accelerate activation of value added services such as IPTV over its next generation network. Intelliden will also help KPN to achieve its targeted €850 million annual OPEX reduction by 2010 through elimination of manual network management processes.
KPN is a leading European communications service provider with over 6.9 million fixed-line, 2.2 million Internet, and 21 million mobile customers across The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. KPN is one of the world's first carriers to commit to an 'All IP' network strategy, driven by increased competition, the rising cost of maintaining its legacy networks, and the need to rapidly introduce new revenue-enhancing services.
"The Dutch market is extremely competitive with one of the highest broadband and wireless penetrations in the world," said Paul van Hoogmoed, Program Manager for Network Information Management at KPN. "Although we are the incumbent communications service provider, we must become more agile, innovative, and efficient to remain competitive. Cable operators are already introducing 'triple play' services through combined TV, Internet and telephony packages. Mobile virtual network and competitive mobile operators are launching new 3G services. Our legacy networks have become too inflexible and expensive. Changes are taking too long to implement and we need to get new services to market faster. Consequently, KPN selected Intelliden as its corporate solution for IP network automation and service activation."
"One of the key advantages of Intelliden is its unique approach to standards-based device modeling," said van Hoogmoed. "Intelliden is the only company to provide a solution which can scale across our whole IP network, provide sufficient control and automation, ensure standardization and also easily integrate with the rest of our OSS applications."
"Communication service providers and other enterprises around the world need to create new service delivery platforms, which are open, automated and extensible," said Alan Black, President and CEO of Intelliden. "The IP transformation requires more sophisticated network solutions and traditional, stove-piped, script-based solutions are no longer adequate. KPN is one of the world's most forward-thinking carriers and their standardization on Intelliden validates our ability to support their most complex network automation needs."
