Telecom network vendor Huawei and Norway’s fiber-based data communications provider Broadnet announced the launch of the IP core network enabled for commercial use of 400G technology.
Per Morten Torvildsen, CTO of Broadnet, said: “Huawei’s rich experience in the fixed network area, and especially IP, will help us to develop the high-speed and cost efficient network in Norway.”
Huawei, which had the highest growth rate in the global IP market in Q4 2013 as per Infonetics data, said its NE5000E 400G core router allows flexible subcards to be removed and re-installed, and supports flexible combinations of 100GE, 40GE, and 10GE boards, boasting a smooth extension to Terabit/s-level capability for each slot.
The Huawei NE5000E core router will help Broadnet to optimize the network architecture and make it more flexible, reduce the bandwidth cost of each bit, and improve customer satisfaction. With the Huawei NE5000E core router, Broadnet will stand out in the market with its fixed network services and make rapid progress in future-oriented network evolution.
