Redback Networks To Deliver On-Demand Broadband Services for Biznet Networks of Indonesia

Biznet is the first competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in Southeast Asia to deploy SmartEdge® routers for smart metro Ethernet and fiber access networks. Under the deal, Redback will help Biznet deliver on-demand and pre-paid broadband services for businesses across Southeast Asia. The Biznet deal reinforces Redback’s network transformation strategy to help carriers unify residential, business and mobile services on a single IP-based broadband network.

"What separates Redback from other router vendors is that more than 40 percent of its routers are provisioned for business and residential services,” said Herve Brunet, vice president, Asia-Pacific sales and operations, Redback Networks. “Asia is at the center of a whole new category of on-demand and pre-paid broadband services. Biznet shares Redback’s vision that all data, voice and video services will be managed over a single, Internet-based infrastructure over time.”

In greater Asia, Redback manages more than 27 million broadband subscribers, including 15+ million in China, 5.2 million in Korea, 3.6 million in Taiwan, 1.6 million in Thailand and 1.5 million in Japan. Across Asia, Redback routers help telephone carriers manage a variety of data, voice and video services for residential and business customers. Typical network applications managed by SmartEdge routers in Asia include broadband access (e.g. high-speed Internet service), edge routing (e.g. VoIP phone service) and Ethernet aggregation (e.g. TV and video services).

Other top carriers deploying SmartEdge for residential and business services include AT&T, British Telecom, China Telecom, China Netcom, ChungHwa Telecom (Taiwan), eAccess (Japan), France Telecom, Korea Telecom, Telefonica, and Turk Telecom, among the more than 200 carriers worldwide.-Redback Networks
