Hanaro Telecom taps Corrigent for multi-play network
SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 -- Corrigent Systems (search for Corrigent Systems), provider of carrier Ethernet transport (CET) equipment for next-generation service provider networks, today announced that its CM-100 product line was selected by Hanaro Telecom, Korea's leading ISP, as a main network infrastructure to deliver premium IPTV services.
Hanaro Telecom plans to offer differentiated content and value-added services as part of its competitive IPTV service. A couple of years ago, Hanaro Telecom launched a 100-Mbit/sec broadband access service for residential areas and plans to increase its penetration using FTTH technology as an enabler for its advanced IPTV services.
Corrigent says its technology enables Hanaro Telecom to provide legacy TDM services together with advanced data services, such as broadcast TV (IPTV) over a converged network infrastructure. Corrigent's CM platforms offer 10-Gbit/sec capacity and combine Ethernet transport, full support of legacy SONET/SDH capabilities, and MPLS and RPR technologies with end-to-end network management, say company representatives. They say the platforms are designed to deliver highly scalable, cost-effective, and resilient video, voice, and data multi-play services.
"Corrigent's Ethernet transport technology will enable us to offer value-added services to our broadband access subscribers," reports Mr. Hyunchan Kim, a team leader of Hanaro Telecom. "We evaluated solutions from other leading vendors and chose the CM product line based on its impressive feature set that will allow Hanaro Telecom to deliver high-quality, reliable, advanced services to our customers," he says.
"Hanaro Telecom is a highly innovative operator at the forefront of advanced service delivery, and we are looking forward to establishing a long-term partnership," adds Izhak Tamir, CEO of Corrigent Systems. "Hanaro Telecom further expands our customer base and joins the three new customers we recently announced as well as Media Broadcast in Germany. It is another testament to the momentum in our business and the leading position of our CM products in the market," Tamir contends.
