Belgacom has selected the Cisco Aggregated Services Router (ASR) 5000 to enhance mobile Internet experience.
The telecom operator will benefit as Cisco ASR 5000 will provide the foundation for Belgacom’s new 4G long-term evolution (LTE) network. In addition, Cisco ASR 5000 will enable unified management of Belgacom’s existing 2G and 3G mobile Internet services.
“We pride ourselves on enabling innovative new services for our subscribers, and through our work with Cisco we are able to offer greatly increased speed and capacity with the confidence that we have a platform to support future growth,” said Laurent Claus, vice president, Customer ICT Services, Belgacom.
In the first three months of 2013, Belgacom doubled mobile Internet traffic in comparison with the same period in 2012.
Cisco will support Belgacom not enhance network speed and connectivity. The telecom service provider can also improve mobile internet experience and provide further opportunity to scale and monetize their network.
Belgacom will be deploying Cisco’s ASR 5000 Series for EPC bearer functionality.
“Belgacom’s approach ensures that it has the consumer in mind. Through our work together, it is helping ensure a backbone for connected services that will shape its platform for years to come. We look forward to experiencing the evolution of the Internet with them,” said Jim Scott, managing director, Mobility, EMEAR, Cisco.
