United States : Cisco and RST Fiber Deploy 3K Miles of High-Speed, 100 Gigabit Optical Networks [TendersInfo (India)]


(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Cisco today announced that RST Fiber, a company that develops and manages state-of-the-art fiber-optic networks, is using Cisco s end-to-end network infrastructure solution to deliver 100 Gigabit (Gbps) connectivity in a new statewide network in North Carolina. RST s high-speed, programmable network features the new Cisco® Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) infrastructure, which combines a variety of cutting edge network and data center infrastructure technologies, including optical and carrier-grade IPv6 solutions.



North Carolina is home to one of the United States most renowned technology hubs, yet some businesses and residents in rural regions of the state only have limited Internet access. Mitigating these connectivity issues and preparing networks for complex traffic patterns brought on by the burgeoning growth of application-centric platforms is critical to strengthening North Carolina s reputation as a prime destination for economic development, education and ongoing technology developments. The Cisco EPN allows RST to reliably and seamlessly deliver a variety of services, including wired and wireless broadband and uncompressed 4K video to businesses and residents throughout North Carolina. It also paves the way for programmable networks capable of accelerating service turn-up and delivering personalized service offerings in the areas of online education, telemedicine, smart grid, transport and others.

According to the Cisco Mobile Visual Networking Index, global mobile data traffic grew 81 percent in 2013, thanks largely to the increasing number of Machine to Machine (M2M) devices and growing use of cloud and video. By partnering with the leader in advanced Internet Protocol (IP) and optical networking solutions, RST delivers the scalable capacity and programmability critical to accelerating innovation across a number of North Carolina industries, including technology, healthcare and education.


The Cisco EPN is also optimized for complex and dynamic over-the-top (OTT) and cloud services, providing RST with the flexible foundation needed to direct traffic spontaneously and in real time and significantly improve business operations. Additionally, by partnering with Cisco, RST will provide faster and more flexible networks, deliver personalized services and deploy technology features such as carrier-class Wi-Fi and IPv6 content delivery networks (CDN).
