LightPoint Deploys Redback's SmartEdge 800 Router

LightPoint Communications, a service provider based in Portland, Oregon, has selected Redback Networks' SmartEdge 800 Router to build its broadband IP network, including aggregating customer data traffic and providing a reliable connection to Internet backbone carriers. LightPoint will utilize the SmartEdge Router to deliver IP services, such as hosting and network-based storage. The SmartEdge 800 can be partitioned into many separate virtual routers, each having it's own forwarding table and management console. Redback said this feature provides the scalability to support a large number of active subscribers, as well as the ability to effectively implement large-scale, low-cost network-based VPN solutions. Financial terms were not disclosed.
