Verizon Upgrades Lottery Network
October 11, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Telecommunications provider Verizon Business (verizonbusiness.com) announced on Wednesday it has begun work with the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission to upgrade its data communications network.
Under the terms of the multimillion-dollar agreement, Verizon Business will transition the Lottery’s network from the current private-line digital data system connecting 8,300 sales terminals to an IP over frame-relay network.
The upgraded network will provide the capability for IP conversion, encryption and simplified network management while allowing for future upgrades to IP-enabled, retail terminals that will support new games.
“This upgrade will give the Massachusetts Lottery room to innovate and to grow,” says Alex Coleman, group president for Verizon Business’ government and education organization. “Converting to an even more reliable, robust and efficient IP network will produce greater returns on the commissions investment while enabling the introduction of cutting-edge games.”
