New Broadband Services Platform Helps BridgeCom Deliver Complete Business
Communications Offering
FREMONT, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- net.com (NYSE: NWK)
and GreenPages Inc. announced today that BridgeCom International, Inc., a full
service integrated communications provider, has selected a layer 3
provisioning and IP address management solution from GreenPages and net.com
that includes net.com's SCREAM release 3.0 service creation platform.
BridgeCom, based in the Northeastern United States, is initially deploying
the net.com/GreenPages solution to offer business broadband services in the
metropolitan New York City area, one of the most competitive
telecommunications markets in the world.
"The SCREAM solution combines subscriber management, IP routing and ATM
switching in one platform," said Jeff Cloud, Director of OSS and Network
Planning at BridgeCom. "It allows us to dynamically assign and manage class
of service, or CoS, per customer and to aggregate all off-net customer traffic
at one location. And having Cisco IOS running on the platform is a key
advantage, providing seamless interoperability with our installed Cisco edge
routers."
net.com's SCREAM release 3.0 service creation platform was selected by
BridgeCom for its strong BRAS (broadband remote access server) functionality,
as well as integrated ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) switching and the Cisco
IOS routing engine. By providing an integrated ATM switch, network operators
are able to lower service delivery costs by leveraging a single platform.
Because IOS is so widely deployed, operators can quickly integrate the SCREAM
3.0 platform into existing networks.
