GuiZhou ZunYi CATV to Offer Enterprise Data Services Using
Ethernet Solution From Riverstone
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Riverstone Networks
(Pink Sheets: RSTN), a pioneer in Carrier Ethernet Networks, today announced
that Chinese cable operator GuiZhou ZunYi CATV has selected Riverstone's
Ethernet routers to provide data services to businesses throughout the city.
The deployment marks the cable operator's first venture from residential video
and Internet access services into enterprise data services, part of a growing
trend among Chinese cable operators.
Using Riverstone's RS 8000 and 3000 series of carrier Ethernet routers, CATV
seeks to expand its customer base and capture additional revenues by offering
Local Area Networks (LANs) and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). The Ethernet
network will provide CATV's enterprise customers with a reliable,
cost-effective solution for linking together geographically dispersed offices.
"To stay competitive, both phone and cable companies have to find new sources
of service revenues," said Yong Shu, Vice President, Asia-Pacific Region,
Riverstone Networks. "Increasingly, they are turning to Ethernet, which allows
them to offer any combination of voice, video or data services over a single,
converged infrastructure."
Unlike Ethernet solutions designed for business and university campuses,
Riverstone's MPLS-based carrier Ethernet solutions can scale to support tens
and hundreds of thousands of users with the same high levels of reliability and
Quality of Service (QoS) as legacy data networks.
Riverstone Networks, Inc. is a leading provider of carrier-class solutions for
next generation metro Ethernet networks. Riverstone's metro routers and
provisioning solutions deliver the ease of use, cost effectiveness, and
flexibility that carriers require in meeting their customers' networking
requirements in support of voice, video, and data services. Riverstone uniquely
permits carriers to offer homogeneous services across existing
revenue-generating networks and new Ethernet deployments.
