Alcatel-Lucent to take over some network divisions of E-Plus

E-Plus is a mobile phone unit of Dutch telecoms giant KPN based in Germany. The company has now announced that they have signed on an agreement with the telecom giant Alcatel-Lucent.

This deal would see Alcatel-Lucent take over some of the network divisions of the company.

E-Plus added in a statement that they would soon be transferring operational divisions that deal with the construction, operation and maintenance of its mobile network to Alcatel-Lucent.

It added: “As part of the outsourcing process Alcatel-Lucent will take on around 750 E-Plus staff in Germany.”

The two companies have not disclosed the financial details of the pact signed on between them.

E-Plus added on this deal: “This will ensure the high quality and efficient roll-out of our mobile network in the long term. Leveraging Alcatel-Lucent’s experience and expertise will mean that future network construction and maintenance requirements can be met with greater speed, flexibility and cost synergies than E-Plus could otherwise achieve on its own.”
