Korea's DACOM Selects Riverstone for Metro Network Expansion

DACOM, Korea's second largest telecommunications provider, has deployed Riverstone's RS family of routers to expand its metro Ethernet network throughout Korea. DACOM is using Riverstone's RS 8600 routers to connect gaming parlors and to deliver residential Ethernet services. Riverstone's RS 8600 routers complement an earlier deployment of RS 38000 and RS 3000 routers in DACOM's metro network. In December, DACOM acquired a 45.5% controlling stake in PowerComm, the cable network arm of state-owned utility Korea Electric Power Corp. Earlier last year, PowerComm deployed Riverstone's RS routers in Korea's largest metropolitan network buildout. Financial terms were not disclosed.
