Juniper Networks has reportedly said that Summit Communications has deployed a seamless access-to-core network solution. This deployment has enabled Summit Communications to simplify its network while providing the scalability to accommodate massive growth in mobile data traffic, following the issuance of the country’s first commercial 3G mobile network licences.
The customer transition to 3G handsets and networks is expected to result in a massive increase in data traffic over Summit Communications’ network. Faced with this prospect, Summit Communications needed to scale mobile backhaul capacity to support the five mobile operators, who have more than 20,000 base station sites between them.
Ravi Chauhan, Managing Director, India and SAARC, Juniper Networks, said, Summit Communications is now on the leading edge in terms of transmission networks with an infrastructure that can accommodate many different types of traffic and connect different generations of mobile service provider equipment from a single access point. Having seamless MPLS and a single control plane, running under a single network operating system, makes a huge difference in terms of operational simplicity, scalability and the financial viability of new service offerings.
Summit Communications is now able to provide backhaul connectivity over a seamless Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network that extends all the way from the point of customer access to the core.
