For other uses, see Cisco (disambiguation). Cisco System,Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006. (R) today announced that China Telecom will adopt the Cisco(R) CRS-1 Carrier Routing System to integrate the supercore network nodes (networking) network node - (node) An addressable device attached to a computer network. If the node is a computer it is more often called a "host". of ChinaNet, the largest Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP) service network in China. With this seventh upgrade of its backbone network A backbone network provides a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks.[1] A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. , China Telecom is continuing its transformation from a network carrier into an "integrated information service provider," the company's growth goal through technological advancement and service creation. Traffic processed by the Cisco CRS-1 will then transit the previous multi-router structure of ChinaNet's core network nodes in eight cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Xi'an, Chengdu, Wuhan and Nanjin. After integration, ChinaNet will significantly enhance the network capacity and improve management efficiency, enabling China Telecom to strengthen broadband business as well as laying foundation for the development of next-generation Internet applications. ChinaNet currently has more than 21 million broadband subscribers, with a total capacity of 4,000 gigabits per second (Gbps), accounting for more than half of China's bandwidth for Internet services. In order to satisfy the needs of the rapidly escalating number of broadband subscribers and advanced multimedia applications, ChinaNet has required a continuous upgrade of its backbone bandwidth. The latest enhancement will anticipate this future demand with higher network availability and scalability. Cisco CRS-1 is a new class of routing system designed to deliver continuous system operation, service flexibility and extended system longevity longevity (lŏnjĕv`ĭtē), term denoting the length or duration of the life of an animal or plant, often used to indicate an unusually long life. to telecommunications service providers A Telecommunications Service Provider or TSP is a type of Communications Service Provider that has traditionally provided telephone and similar services. This category includes ILECs, CLECs, and mobile wireless companies. and research organizations. This innovative routing system enables customers to scale network capacity up to 92 terabits per second (Tbps) and deliver next-generation data, voice and video services over a converged IP network while protecting their investments in the system. Cisco Systems China Vice President Hanh Tu said, "Adhering to its goal of becoming a modern integrated information service provider, China Telecom has taken remarkable initiatives to deliver innovative new services. We are honored to bring our industry leading technology to the customers of China Telecom and contribute our experience of serving global service providers to the development of China's telecom industry." The Cisco CRS-1 was awarded the prestigious InfoVision Award by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission ) at the Broadband World Forum Europe, held 3-6 October 2005 in Madrid, Spain. The InfoVision Award program recognizes corporations and individuals for pioneering developments in technologies, applications, products, advances, and services judged to be the most unique and beneficial in the telecommunications industry. Since its official release last year, more than 22 customers around the globe have adopted over 100 units of the Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System. By choosing Cisco CRS-1 as a key component for building out the IP core networks of China Telecom, main Chinese telecom operator is employing the world's most advanced networking technology, allowing them to compete in the global marketplace.
