Alcatel-Lucent is managing several network business divisions of Germany’s third-largest mobile communications provider, E-Plus Mobilfunk. Under the terms of the network outsourcing agreement, E-Plus Mobilfunk transferred the operational business divisions responsible for the operation, maintenance and deployment of its cellular network to Alcatel-Lucent, enabling E-Plus to concentrate on its core business, reduce operational expenses and increase network quality.
As part of this agreement, about 750 E-Plus employees in Germany joined Alcatel-Lucent.
E-Plus will maintain responsibility for strategic network planning and network development, including the selection of mobile communications locations and their technical equipment to ensure the long-term quality of its cellular network.
“Our decision to enter a strategic partnership with Alcatel-Lucent is designed to guarantee our subscribers a network of a constantly increasing quality over the long term,” explained Elmar Grasser, Chief Technical Officer of E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH & Co KG. “Alcatel-Lucent is the world’s leading network integrator with the resources to meet future network construction and maintenance requirements with greater speed, flexibility and cost synergies than we could alone. And with this step, we’re once again playing a pioneering role on the German market.”
