Alcatel to Deliver Metro Ethernet Network to Chilean Operator

GTD Group, a Chilean telecommunications operator, selected Alcatel to provide an MPLS-based metro Ethernet network to deliver virtual private network (VPN) services to corporate customers throughout the Santiago metropolitan area. Specifically, GTD will use the Alcatel 7450 Ethernet Service Switch, Alcatel 7750 Service Router and Alcatel 5620 Service Aware Manager.
The network will also provide GTD the flexibility to offer any service at any port, including such high-value services as IP VPNs, virtual private LAN service and virtual leased line. In addition, GTD can ensure application-level QoS for multiple, concurrent classes of service from best effort to mission critical. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.alcatel.com
