Cisco to power Indian Ethernet
VSNL, one of India's leading telecoms companies, announced that it's Tata Indicom Broadband Services division will be powering up broadband technology for business and residential areas, using an ethernet built on Cisco tehcnology.
According to CNet:
Cisco's 12000, 7600 and 7300 series routers and Cisco's Catalyst 3750 and 2950 series switches will be used to build the network. Tata Indicom plans to use Cisco's technology to deliver a "triple play" of bundled services over the Ethernet infrastructure. Specifically, it plans to offer residential customers services such as Internet Protocol telephony, broadcast TV and video-on-demand. It also plans to use the network to deliver business services such as video conferencing and IP virtual private network.
This is no doubt good news for Cisco, after Wall Street effectively saw the company devalue to an 11-month low in August, after rising turnover was matched by rising costs. Further embarrassments have included the theft of Cisco source code, which found itself posted on the internet in September, via a Russian website.
Today VSNL also announced the purchase of US undersea cable company Tyco Global Network for just over ��70 million.
