- China Unicom leverages Nokia 7950 XRS core router to address
surging Internet traffic and national broadband initiative
- Nokia technology helps China Unicom improve speed and response
times to meet future capacity demands and support the country's
national broadband plan.
ESPOO, Finland, Sept. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nokia
is expanding its exclusive partnership with China
Unicom for the high-end core router CR-B for three
continuous years with its large-capacity core router
platform - the 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS).
China Unicom selected the 7950 XRS family to build a more
intelligent, flexible and scalable core network with the ability to
meet future capacity demands and support the country's national
broadband plan.
China Unicom initially deployed the 7950 XRS into metro networks
in six provinces - Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Inner
Mongolia and Qinghai - and this year plans to scale out to an
additional four including Heilongjiang, Henan, Zhejiang and Hunan
to improve speed and response times for the fixed and mobile
broadband subscribers.
In 2013 China launched its Broadband China initiative to invest
$182 billion to boost the speed and quality of Internet services
across the country. The aim is to reduce the digital divide by
providing businesses and urban and rural citizens with national
broadband coverage by 2020. In keeping with this initiative, China
Unicom has been continually improving the scale and capacity of its
networks.
Nokia's industry-leading 7950 XRS platform
delivers the scale, efficiency and versatility required so China
Unicom can address the full range of core networking requirements
with room to also meet capacity demands well into the future. In
addition, the XRS is based on a highly programmable Network
Processor (NP) architecture that provides the capacity and
capabilities needed as cloud service requirements evolve.
Quotes:
"We are honored to continue our work with China Unicom in the
CR-B core router segment," says Mike Wang, head of the joint
management team of Nokia Networks China and ASB . "Leveraging the
Nokia 7950 XRS platform, China Unicom gains the bandwidth,
flexibility and programmability necessary to manage its growing
networks and to better meet the needs of the country's ambitious
broadband strategy."
Key Facts:
- The Nokia 7950 XRS provides a more flexible, intelligent
network that offers the scalability and capacity to meet future
traffic demands
- The XRS supports open interfaces that SDN WAN controllers can
use to program the network through mechanisms such as OpenFlow,
NETCONF/YANG, PCE-P or BGP/LS.
- The industry-leading 7950 XRS platform efficiently addresses
the full range of core networking requirements, including Internet
routing, IP Peering, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), IDC
interconnecting and infrastructure services.
