Asia Netcom Launches IP VPN Portfolio

Asia Netcom is launching new MPLS-based, corporate IP VPN services featuring five classes of service (CoS) combined with the option for usage-based pricing. The service provides city-to-city connectivity across the Asia Pacific region with additional connectivity available into mainland China and to major markets in the Americas and Europe. Asia Netcom's CoS offerings are defined by Service Level Agreement (SLA) parameters, including jitter, latency, packet loss and service availability. The company offers connection speeds from Nx64 Kbps to Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps). Asia Netcom's core network backbone is being migrated to 2.5 Gbps trunks. A fully meshed MPLS-TE (multi-protocol label switching traffic engineered) native IP network enables both any-to-any and hub-and-spoke configurations.
