SAN JOSE, CA, Dec 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced that Telefonica Global
Solutions, part of the Telefonica Group, a leading global provider of
telecommunication services for fixed and mobile carriers, ISPs and
content providers, has selected Cisco for its enhanced Internet
Protocol Next Generation Network. The upgraded network will support
new and future revenue generating services and help ensure that
Telefonica has the capacity to meet the needs of its global customer
base, including those in America, Asia and Europe. Integral to
supporting this Internet growth will be the deployment of the
Cisco(R) CRS-3 and ASR 9000 Series routers for enhanced capacity,
high resiliency, and robust IPv6 support.
Highlights/Key Facts
-- Telefonica's network connects more than 100 locations in more than 60
cities and 40 countries connecting the main cities of Europe, Latin
America, the United States and Asia.
-- With over 8,000 systems deployed and nearly 1,000 multi-chassis
configurations, the Cisco CRS is the industry's most robust, scalable,
widely deployed multi-chassis core router. Cisco's new elastic core
solution capabilities allow it to seamlessly add a second chassis
without the space and cost of a separate fabric chassis.
-- The Cisco CRS offers the possibility of future upgrading capacity for
its core network with up to 400 Gbps per slot capability, high
resiliency, and a cost-effective intelligent core solution to improve
the return on investment for its core network.
-- The Cisco IP NGN solution is fully IPv6 compliant, helping to ensure
that Telefonica is prepared to meet customer demand for IPv6-based
services.
-- Both the Cisco CRS and ASR 9000 Series utilize the modular Cisco
IOS(R) XR software operating system, which is designed to simplify
network operations and enable comprehensive system redundancy and
network resiliency.
-- The Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast, 2011-2016, projects
that global Internet traffic will increase more than fourfold to more
than a zettabyte by 2016. This amount is 100 exabytes higher than the
projected level in 2013, or an increase the equivalent of 10 times all
the traffic traversing IP networks in 2008.
-- Alejandro Martinez, VP of Telefonica Global Solutions,Global
Network and Platforms: "Telefonica is committed to using the most
innovative technology for all its services and products. As a global
company with a network spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas we're

to prepare for the next-generation mobile Internet and facilitating an
increasing demand for mobile video, collaboration, and broadband
services. The Cisco CRS family is designed to grow such that it can
operate for decades while providing best-in-class performance. Its 400
