Redback Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:RBAK), a leading provider of multi-service
edge routers for next generation broadband networks, today announced it
has won the second phase of a broadband network upgrade with largest
provincial carrier in China. Guangdong Telecom will use Redback’s
SmartEdge® family of multi-service edge
routers to deliver broadband internet, IPTV and virtual private network
(VPN) services for up to four million homes and businesses.

Telecom, which has an estimated 50+ million customers. Guangdong Telecom
contributes one-quarter of China Telecom’s

profit. Guangdong Telecom is planning to grow the broadband business
more aggressively and double the number of broadband subscribers in the
next one or two years.
With more than 50 million broadband customers, China is Redback’s
second largest market outside of the United States. In the last 18
months, Redback’s SmartEdge®
multi-service edge routers have been deployed in 22 of the 32 provinces
in China. For China Telecom, this includes provincial carriers in
Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi,
Ningxia, Heilongjiang and Tibet. For China Netcom, this includes similar
deployments in Shandong, Liaoning, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Henan,
Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, Chongqing and Yunnan.
“We thank Guangdong Telecom for selecting
Redback,” said Simon Williams, vice president
of sales and operations in Asia at Redback Networks. “Building
out broadband networks strengthens worldwide competitiveness, and we are
pleased that Guangdong Telecom leaders share Redback’s
vision of single IP network for broadband data, voice and video
services. Over time, we see a future where all communications services
will be managed in harmony under a single IP-based broadband
infrastructure.”
