South Korean city Yongin has selected Telco Systems (News - Alert), a subsidiary of BATM Advanced Communications, for networking its libraries, administration buildings and city-wide video surveillance (CCTV).

The company is offering its advanced multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) solution to the South Korean City, considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in South Korea with a population of nearly one million. MyungSik Choi, network manager of YonginCity, said that Yongin selected Telco Systems and Diznet to build its resilient, flexible and scalable MPLS network.

Yongin officials selected the company’s CE 2.0 compliant end-to-end solution that includes a T-Marc demarcation product, two products from the T-Metro aggregation platform product line and also EdgeGenie service management system. Telco System offers them a combination of high quality, easily managed, cost-effective solutions, and a state of the art feature set including local support.

EdgeGenie uses “sophisticated path computation algorithms” to ensure ongoing optimization and in addition to visualizing how services are being transported across the network.

“By adopting our Carrier Ethernet/MPLS network technologies, Yongin will be able to rapidly deliver new managed services with guaranteed service quality to reach new levels of capacity, scalability and reliability -- all of which are necessary for a vigorously expanding city,” said Zvi Marom, chief executive officer at BATM, adding that in addition, this will be achieved at only a fraction of the cost of traditional models. “We look forward to the successful delivery of this contract, which we hope will enable us to be selected for other similar projects in the city going forward.”

Last year in December, BATM announced that Telco Systems won multiple industry awards, primarily for the T-Metro 8000 cloud gateway and service aggregator and for its T-ATCA product line of 40G and 10G AdvancedTCA (News - Alert) blades.
