Nov. 1--Faced with network quality constraints, Alcatel-Lucent has warned that local mobile-phone operators need to rush to transform to the Internet protocol (IP) transmission network to improve voice services and accommodate increasing data communications.

The French telecom equipment firm estimated the local mobile market potential for IP transmission would be US$300 million over the next five years.

Transmission for third-generation (3G) mobile technology would be worth $1 billion by 2012.

Laurent Perche, mobile solutions head of Alcatel-Lucent (Thailand), said local mobile operators faced declining core voice revenue due to intense competition and market saturation.

He said operators needed to quickly transform from old circuit time-division multiplexing (TDM) to packet IP transmission to increase network capacity, manage traffic across multi-technology networks, reduce transport cost per bit up to seven-fold and increase data revenue.

Alcatel-Lucent yesterday intrduced what it described the industry's first comprehensive mobile evolution transport architecture (Meta) to be available within the first quarter of 2008.
