NEW DELHI -- Tata Teleservices Ltd. (TTSL) has recently purchased an EAGLE 5 Signaling Application System (SAS) from Tekelec. The multipair EAGLE system will provide the signaling infrastructure to enable advanced telecommunication services for TTSL's high-speed, broadband network. Tekelec will provide network implementation expertise and consulting services as well as installation, training, and maintenance support.

The EAGLE 5 SAS is a high capacity, multiprotocol advanced signaling platform.
