China Telecom Americas expands network with Cisco IP NGN

Because it builds its services with Cisco equipment and technologies, China Telecom Americas has become a Cisco Powered Program member with service designations in multiprotocol label switching-based IP virtual private network and carrier ethernet.

China Telecom Americas currently operates multiple super points of presence that aggregate traffic across North America. China Telecom America’s backbone expansion includes three new CRS-1 carrier routing systems, the core platform for the Cisco IP next-generation network (NGN) architecture.

The Cisco CRS-1 complements the existing Cisco XR 12000 series routers for network core infrastructure, which ties into the Cisco ONS 15454 multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP) for time-division multiplexing (TDM) service aggregation.

Vic Northrup, Cisco vice president of US sales, said: “With the expansion and enhancement of its North American backbone, China Telecom Americas is better able to provide leading IP-enabled applications and processes to its growing customer base in the Americas.”
