MeneameBrazilian telecoms operator Telemar has won a five-year contract to manage part of the telecoms infrastructure of Brazilian credit card settler Visanet, Telemar said in a statement.
Telemar beat out two other Brazilian incumbent telephony operators, Telesp and Embratel, in the auction, a Telemar spokesperson told BNamericas.
Telemar will handle communications between Visanet's 450,000 point of sale (POS) terminals across 4,000 Brazilian cities, using an IP-based network with MPLS technology. This will cover 100% of POS communications and 70 of Visanet's total communications.
Visanet settles transactions between some 800,000 stores, which are expected to total 1bn reais in 2003 with total turnover of 54bn reais, up 30% from 42bn reais in 2002.
Data network outsourcing is a new service for Telemar, with its first such five-year contract signed in March this year with Dutch bank ABN Amro Real, for 180mn reais (US$61mn). Other Telemar data network outsourcing clients secured to date include airlines TAM and Gol, and retail conglomerate Globex Utilidades.
