The Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange development program consists of a platform for multi-provider carrier Ethernet interconnection that meets Metro Ethernet Forum standards. The program is reviewing a variety of solutions including Ethernet Network to Network Interconnection (NNI) and additional services that leverage the density and breadth of networks operating within Equinix's centers. The platform is available at Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers globally using Alcatel-Lucent's service routing portfolio. "Demand for AboveNet's Ethernet services continues to grow," said Philip Olivero, vice president of Engineering for AboveNet. "The current process for extending our Ethernet service offering outside of our service area requires the establishment of multiple, complex interconnection relationships with other carriers. A multi-carrier Ethernet exchange platform would simplify interconnection, reduce costs and speed delivery of Ethernet services to off-net customer locations." http://www.equinix.com 03-Nov-09     Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Service Provider News NTT Surpasses 12.8 Million Optical Access Lines 2/5/2010 Level 3 to Deliver 1.5 Gbps Uncompressed HD Video Feed from Super Bowl 2/2/2010 SAIC Wins $52 Million Network Contract with NSF 2/1/2010 Nokia and Pearson form wireless educational venture in China 2/1/2010 Sprint Supports Tango Networks' Mobile UC 2/1/2010 AT&T Gives Update on Network Upgrade Programs 1/29/2010 AT&T U-verse Voice Service Reaches 1 Million Lines 1/28/2010 AT&T Adds 2.7 million Wireless Subscribers in Q4 2009 1/28/2010 BT Offers Flat Rate Global Video Exchange Pricing 1/28/2010 AT&T to Provide 7.2 Mbps 3G Service for Apple's iPad 1/27/2010 XO Activates South Texas Gateway Serving Mexico 1/27/2010 Verizon Integrates International and U.S. Wholesale Teams 1/27/2010 Haiti's Voila to Double International Capacity, 90% of Cell Sites Online 1/27/2010 Level 3 Provides Backbone for TDS Telecom 1/26/2010 Verizon Sees Growth in Wireless Data, But Posts Loss on Labor Costs 1/26/2010 > More news...   Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published LTE -- What Voice Services? by Jose Deras Framing the Next Wave of Carrier Ethernet by Umesh Kukreja Network Interconnection and Evolution for Super Carriers by Dawn M.
