INTERNEXA selects Alcatel-Lucent's 100G fiber optic technology to dramatically enhance content distribution in PeruOct 03, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- INTERNEXA, a connectivityinfrastructure and telecommunication solution provider in South America, willdeploy 100 gigabit per second (100G) optical coherent technology fromAlcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) to dramatically boost the speedand capacity of its data network to support the distribution of digital contentfrom around the world into the region. The new network also will enableINTERNEXA to meet subscribers' fast-growing demands for mobile video,high-speed Internet access and other data services in Peru. INTERNEXA has the largest terrestrial telecommunications network in SouthAmerica, providing connectivity to operators in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador,Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and soon, Central America. The company ismigrating digital content currently located outside the continent to datacenters in Colombia and Brazil through agreements with the main ContentDelivery Network (CDNs). This move will enhance efficiency for operators,quality of service for subscribers and create new opportunities for contentdevelopers. As a result, INTERNEXA needed a solution that could manage huge volumes ofdata traffic and reduce complexity in its network in Peru to providehigher-quality services.
