Marconi and Riverstone Networks Announce Metro Ethernet Partnership

Marconi's Broadband Routing and Switching group and Riverstone Networks have formed a partnership focused on metro Ethernet solutions. The partnership combines Riverstone's IP-based metropolitan routers and carrier-class features with Marconi's multiservice switch-routers, optical transport and broadband access solutions, and its softswitch. Initially, the companies are collaborating on solutions for carriers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Recently, Marconi and Riverstone provided Jersey Telecom, a UK-based telecommunications provider, with a converged voice, video and data network.
