The Economist Group Chooses Nortel to Make Communication Simple

The Economist Group is using a complete Nortel IP communications solution at its second London office in Red Lion Square to allow its editors, analysts and business staff to communicate more effectively. Nortel's IP-based voice and data network for TEG delivers a simplified personal communications management system to its staff. This allows users to access telephony, fax, e-mail, voicemail and wireless through personal computers and IP telephony handsets anywhere in the TEG office.

The converged solution, which is capable of supporting Quality of Service (QoS) from the edge to the core of the network, was completed in conjunction with Allnet, a Nortel channel partner and is based on Nortel end-to-end enterprise portfolio.

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 at the core, Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5520 at the edge, and Nortel Communication Server (CS) 1000 IP telephony solution provide The Economist Group with a system designed to handle 'mission critical' information cost effectively and with high reliability. Nortel solution for the media Group also includes wireless local area network capability.

The Economist Group also chose to converge its network to enable its entire staff to benefit from a flexible, mobile environment using 400 Nortel 2004 and 2002 Internet Phones.
