Nov 21, 2002 : BT Launches Network Control Center
📅 - UK-based telecommunications giant BT (bt.com) announced on Thursday that it has launched its new network control center in Brussels, Belgium, as part of the company's strategy for meeting the information, communication and technology requirements of corporate customers.
The new NCC, says BT, will centralize the management of the company's extensive network, which covers 16 countries, connecting over 300 cities and towns with more than 57,000 km of fiber across Europe. BT says the facility's launch demonstrates the company's continuing investment in its network operations.
BT says the NCC in Brussels is key to the company's strategy of extending its offering to European customers and global customers with European operations. With phase one complete, the pan-European network and in-country local networks can be managed centrally. The NCC provides a single point of visibility for the entire operation. Phase two, which is scheduled for completion over the coming months, will fully establish the Brussels center as the global network control center for BT Ignite, the company's business services and solutions unit.
"The new NCC strengthens BT's ability to deliver excellent customer service, network performance and operational efficiency,? says Steve Andrews, president of Carrier & Networks at BT. ?It also demonstrates BT's commitment to deliver the advanced network management capability and skills required by our corporate customers. We are providing this high performance network service to 20 out of the top 50 Fortune 500 companies and over 10,000 other multi-site corporate customers. The BT portfolio delivers across the IP value chain and extensive voice capability, from IP VPNs to complex e-business solutions, so it is essential that our underpinning network can support first class delivery and performance."
