Deploying Ethernet Access for Business Services

Tags:
ethernet

Overview The leading provider of telecommunications services in Switzerland, Swisscom wanted to stay ahead of the competition with best-in-market business services and enable more bandwidth for video and other services demanded by corporate customers. The challenge was to simplify the infrastructure to keep operating costs low and enable more flexible service delivery. Recognizing the need to converge networks in the future, Swisscom made the decision to build a single Carrier Ethernet infrastructure that could simultaneously deliver both Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet services with customer-managed or Swisscom-managed Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). Swisscom chose Cisco core, access, and aggregation solutions.
