Brazil' s NET Expands Its Broadband Metro Network Using Huawei' s IPTime Broadband Metro Solution
Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, announced that it was selected by NET, the largest cable TV operator and the second largest broadband service provider in Brazil, to deploy its IPTime broadband metro solution as part of an initiative to expand and restructure NET' s IP metro network. This initiative will provide subscribers with high-quality, high-definition (HD) video service throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
As a result of a 30% increase in subscribers since 2009, NET faces challenges such as aging equipment, soaring OPEX, little support for new bandwidth heavy HD and 3D video services, and exhaustion of IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) address resources. To address these challenges, NET initiated its "NET Virtual Routers" project using Huawei' s IPTime broadband metro solution to update its existing metro network and include new coverage areas to extend service reach.
Huawei's solution, featuring "SingleMetro, MultiPlay", uses innovative technologies such as video packet retransmission and fast channel change (FCC) to deliver high-quality video services. The converged SingleMetro platform - the industry' s most comprehensive IPv6 evolution option with a flexible "pay-as-you-grow" design - supports NET' s seamless evolution to future networks, while achieving maximum investment protection.
"As a leading broadband service provider in Latin America, NET focuses not only on the advanced and future-proof network with its diverse IP service offerings, but also on high returns on investment and long-term investment protection. As part of our All-IP convergence strategy, we believe that our IPTime Broadband Metro Solution will enable operators like NET to increase operational efficiency and business profitability, and protect network investments," said Li Ke, president of Huawei's Southern South America Regional Division.
Huawei's IPTime broadband solution has been deployed by leading operators worldwide, such as China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, France Telecom (FT), Telefonica, Vodafone, and SingTel.
