Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
AARNet is installing Cisco's ON 15454 optical multiplexors to expand capacity and performance on its national backbone, a move which it says will immediately benefit regional universities in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland by providing them with enhanced network services including ethernet connections capable of speeds up to 10gbps.
AARNet will also connect the South Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing to its peer supercomputing centres on the eastern seaboard. This regional optical program is funded in part by the federal Department of Education Science and Training (DEST) through its Australian Research and Education Network (AREN) initiative.
AARNet CEO, Chris Hancock, said: "This is a major milestone for the advancement of Internet technology in Australia. It will enable [AARNet] to provide multiple 10 gigabit wavelengths, extending the bandwidth and reach of our network into regional Australia for research such as astronomy and high energy physics...We can also leverage it to provide dedicated, user controlled light paths to researchers requiring high bandwidth access to specialised facilities across Australia and the globe."
Cisco will supply and install the Cisco ONS 15454 platform and manage a 24x7 operations centre for the optical network as an integrated part of AARNet's overall network support services.
