HERNDON, Va. -- China Telecom USA today announced that its parent company, China Telecom, the largest fixed-line operator in China, is planning to launch the Next Generation Carrying Network CN2 in North America. CN2 is a new MPLS next generation IP platform for businesses, designed to support both voice and data services. The CN2 Network began rollout in China in mid-2005. CN2 has direct coverage across 194 cities in China with global PoPs planned for London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, San Jose, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, DC. CN2 is linked to ChinaNet's more than 35 million registered customers and will provide direct connections to all major global ISPs for direct traffic routing.
CN2 is a newly built, separate network designed to provide superior reliability and performance to support mission-critical and high-priority business applications. CN2 provides the following cost effective services:
High-performing global Virtual Private Networking
Next generation networking (NGN) -- converged communications (voice, data and video services)
Enable Future 3G mobile application communications across CN2 network backbone
Centralized network management -- end-to-end real time network monitoring and customer network management
Enhanced network performance in terms of latency, packet loss and availability
Network-to-Network interface (NNI) to provide truly global MPLS VPN connectivity across other global networks.
This new network, which is based upon MPLS technology, runs separate to the existing ChinaNet Network. CN2 has five levels of Quality of Service (QoS) management, VPN service management, traffic and performance analysis, and customer information distribution. "Both IP and MPLS can be used to create corporate VPNs. However, MPLS VPN is more dynamic, combining the intelligence of private IP routing with the added performance of label switching to move packets between any location in the network," commented Donald Tan, President of China Telecom USA. He continued, "CN2 also provides a greater degree of security for voice and other types of business traffic since the MPLS routing table is separate from the public Internet. Multinational companies that use CN2 will experience network performance enhancements, including network reliability, flexibility, simplicity and scalability, which are unmatched by the traditional Internet."
