Romtelecom and Cosmote supply telecom services to BCR

Romtelecom and Cosmote will supply telecommunication solutions to Banca Comerciala Romana (BCR).

The contract was attributed to the two telecom players following a public bidding organized by BCR last fall.

“BCR is in full process of modernization, development and updating of its communication services. This includes landline telephony, mobile telephony but also data transfer,” says Christian Franz Bruckner, Chief Operating Officer in BCR.

The value of the contract is several million EUR and is the largest contract of integrated telecom services on the market, company officials told Business Review.

Following the signing of the contract, Romtelecom will supply electronic services (via a VPN with over 600 points of presence), IP telephony (via an IPTel solution integrated with the SIP Trunk service for more than 6,000 IP telephones). The contract also presupposes the integration of new communication equipment.
