Com Hem Selects Cisco IP NGN for New Peering Network

Cisco Systems has announced that Com Hem is providing increased capacity and continuous operation needed to deliver high-performance broadband services to its customers by upgrading its national peering network, based on the Cisco Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) architecture.

The upgrade includes deployment of Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers with the Cisco IOS XR fully-distributed operating system, which will provide high-availability 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections for Com Hem's national backbone network to Swedish Internet access points and international Internet service providers. The network will be installed and configured by Cisco Gold Certified partner Cygate, who will also manage the migration of traffic and operations from the existing system to the new network.

The Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers are designed to offer highly secure virtualization, continuous operation and multiservice capabilities to provide intelligent routing solutions that can deliver capacities of up to 10 gigabit per second per slot for next-generation IP Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. The Cisco IOS XR operating system for the Cisco XR 12000 Series router allows service providers to isolate public and private services through the virtualization of a single router into separate physical and logical partitions. Cisco IOS XR software is a self-healing and self-defending operating system designed for always-on operation while scaling capacity and adding new services or features.
