In July 2008, Casino Du Liban signed with Enterprise and Networking Solutions (ENS), part of ITG (Holding), a contract to provide a complete IP Telephony solution from Alcatel-Lucent, a leader in fixed mobile and converged broadband networking, IP technologies and applications.

The legend of Casino Du Liban has attracted millions of guests from all over the world and has marked Lebanon’s history with unforgettable magical and sensual moments.

With this contract Casino Du Liban will replace their current PBX from Alcatel-Lucent for higher technology and more functionality.
The solution includes IP Telephony equipment (IP PBX for 400 users and 30 wireless users with a 2 x E1 connection to the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) and soft phones).

“Despite the high competition among very well known brands, we chose Alcatel-Lucent products from ENS because of our satisfactory previous experience, in addition to the competitive offering and features of the product.”  Johnny Sweidan, IT Manager of Casino Du Liban.

“ENS and Alcatel-Lucent have exerted an exceptional effort to secure this deal since Casino Du Liban is a very unique and prestigious reference in the region especially since it already had an Alcatel-Lucent system that functioned to their satisfaction for many years.  New Alcatel-Lucent applications and services will allow Casino Du Liban to enhance their communication and business efficiency.” Said Joe Ghossoub, General Manager, ENS.
