Comcast Chooses Foundry for Citywide Network in Portland, Oregon

Comcast has selected Foundry Networks to provide an end-to-end switching and routing solution for a new high-speed network it is building in Portland, Oregon. The new network will carry voice, video and data traffic for city and county government agencies in Portland and surrounding areas. Specifically, Comcast will use a combination of Foundry's FastIron Layer 2/3 switches, NetIron metro routers and FastIron Edge switches to link hundreds of government offices, schools, universities, libraries, police and fire departments. The network is upgradeable using Foundry's 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules for either the FastIron and NetIron platforms. Financial terms were not disclosed.
