Huawei wins bulk of Singapore NBN contracts

Huawei has taken the lion’s share of the first infrastructure contracts for Singapore’s S$1 billion ($708.1 million) NBN project. Alcatel-Lucent has also been awarded the OSS/BSS system integrator contract.

Both vendors signed an agreement on Tuesday Starhub subsidiary Nucleus Connect, the designated NBN wholesale provider.

Nucleus would not reveal details of the financial value of the contracts, but said Huawei had won 70% of the value and Alcatel-Lucent the remaining 30%.

Huawei will roll out an end-to-end network with an IP MPLS core and a GPON and an active ethernet access network. It will also deliver professional services, CPE and network management.

Alcatel-Lucent will supply the OSS/BSS and act as systems integrator. The contract will include service assurance, customer care and billing and is targeted for completion by July next year.
