Cisco supplies MPLS routers for Australian National Broadband Network

摘要

Cisco says that it has signed a contract worth up to $38 million over five years to supply Multi-Protocol Layer Switching (MPLS) on Cisco routers and firewalls to support NBN Co's National Connectivity Network (NCN). The NCN is part of the Australian National Broadband Network (NBN) effort. The NCN will help activate and assure services as homes and businesses connect onto the NBN. The Cisco equipment will serve in depot, aggregation nodes, and other "key locations" to support the Operations Support System (OSS) and Business Support System (BSS) platforms, signaling, and timing. Cisco says it will begin work on the five-year project immediately.
