Business Wire
Redback Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:RBAK), a leading provider of
next-generation broadband networking systems, today announced that
Kazakhtelecom, the incumbent fixed-line operator in Kazakhstan, has
deployed Redback's SmartEdge(R) Multi-Service Edge Routers to
expand network capacity to deliver business and residential
services on a converged IP network. Due to the rapid adoption of
its broadband services, Kazakhtelecom is expanding the capacity and
increasing the scalability of their network. The majority of
Kazakhtelecom's current customers are businesses. However, with the
increase in the adoption of consumer broadband services, the
company needed to expand capacity and scalability. The upgraded
network is designed to offer residential broadband as well as
business services such as ATM, leased line, and Ethernet services.
MPLS virtual private networks as well as other value-added services
are also expected to be offered over the same network. "Kazakhstan
has a burgeoning economy with a focus on high-tech and
next-generation telecommunications services," said Dr. Ray Mota,
chief strategist of Synergy Research Group. "Our research shows
that Redback's SmartEdge family of multi-service edge routers is
differentiated by its ability to consolidate multiple IP services
onto a single network," he continues. "With over 150 service
provider customers today, the SmartEdge router has proven to be
flexible, scalable and reliable, enabling service providers to lay
the foundation for rapid and cost-effective delivery of
next-generation business and consumer services, including IPTV,
on-line gaming, virtual private networks and Voice over IP."
Redback's SmartEdge family of multi-service edge routers provides
carrier-class routing as well as advanced subscriber management,
creating a converged IP network that simplifies overall network
operations and traffic control for Kazakhtelecom. Kazakhtelecom
also expects to take advantage of the SmartEdge routers'
hierarchical quality of service (QoS) capabilities to offer
multiple levels of services to its corporate clients and deploy new
next-generation broadband services to residential customers in the
future. "With the power of our SmartEdge platform, we are enabling
service providers like Kazakhtelecom to deliver high-speed,
high-performance IP-based broadband services to customers who are
demanding next-generation entertainment and communications," said
Magnus Almquist, vice president of sales and operations for EMEA at
Redback. "As Kazakhtelecom is already providing most of the
residential telephony services in Kazakhstan, the SmartEdge
deployment should help them converge their multiple networks and
simplify operations." About Redback Networks Redback Networks Inc.,
