The contract is worth more than US $20 million. INTEC, a corporation which offers packet switched network services, has ordered the Northern Telecom DMS-SuperNode switches to support a new nationwide network providing integrated, multi-media services for data, voice and image transmission. The network will offer high value-added services to major corporations around the country. Northern Telecom will provide full support to assist INTEC in deployment of the network to meet INTEC's in-service milestones. INTEC is a pioneer in new Value Added Network (VAN) services for Japanese Type II carriers. Since 1989, the company has been Northern Telecom's distributor of the Meridian PBX range of products in Japan. This experience with Northern Telecom products, together with the development of the DMS-SuperNode backbone network, will allow INTEC to offer complete turn-key network integration services for its corporate ISDN customers.
