Cisco Selected to Build Backbone and Premium Business Network for China
Telecom's IP Next Generation Network
Cisco core and service routers deployed to secure customer benefits
and support future metropolitan-area-network operation
BEIJING, November 11, 2004- Cisco Systems® announced today that it has
been selected by China Telecom as the primary equipment provider for
the business network portion of the China Telecom Internet Protocol
(IP) Next-Generation Network (also known as ChinaNet Next Carrying
Network or CN2). CN2 will connect more than 200 cities and provide
premium services to corporate customers nationwide. Cisco also will
provide equipment for the backbone network in Jiangsu, Hubei, Zhejiang,
Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. These provinces contain the
largest concentration of Chinese enterprises and the highest Internet
traffic volume in the country. In the past 6 months, China Telecom has
awarded contracts valued at more than US$100 million to Cisco.
China Telecom is deploying the first phase of CN2 as part of its goal
of becoming one of the world's largest providers of IP services within
10 to 20 years. The CN2 project will interconnect with ChinaNet's
overseas points of presence (POPs) which use the Cisco® ONS 15454
platform in the United States and Hong Kong. This allows for
international Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based virtual
private network (VPN) services internationally.
The business network will deploy Cisco 12000 Series routers, providing
industry-leading MPLS VPN services and serving as a robust platform for
future metropolitan-area-network (MAN) deployments.
