Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) has provided TIM with a microwave link that will ensure continuous ultra-broadband connectivity between the Sicilian islands of Pantelleria and Lampedusa.

With many natural and historical landmarks, Pantelleria and Lampedusa are popular tourist destinations.

Key Facts :

  • Alcatel-Lucent has deployed a 147km-long high capacity (800Mbit/s), high-availability radio link – supporting a mix of IP and legacy traffic - from Lampedusa to Pantelleria using its 9500 Microwave Packet Radio.
  • Alcatel-Lucent’s market leading microwave backhaul and transport technology helps providers to deliver ultra broadband services everywhere, providing a viable alternative to connect underserved areas where a fiber network is unavailable, and/or to protect existing fiber links.

For this reason TIM is working with Alcatel-Lucent to leverage its leadership in backhaul technology and ensure continuous connectivity for the residents, organizations and many visitors to Lampedusa and Pantelleria.
