AAPT has selected Ciena to upgrade its network infrastructure so as to enable it to deliver carrier ethernet services, in preparation for the availability of NBN services.
"AAPT's upgraded network will address both pent-up demand for ultrafast broadband services and competitively position AAPT as a market leader in ethernet business service delivery when the NBN becomes generally available."
The network will be built using Ciena's 5410 and 5150 service aggregation switches, augmenting AAPT's existing IP/MPLS core network. According to Ciena, it will give AAPT the capacity to offer protected end-to-end 10Gbps ethernet services and enable AAPT to provide high-bandwidth links between its data centres and backhaul from NBN points of interconnect.
AAPT will also use Ciena's Consult and Design Services Suite to assist with network deployment and commissioning. Ciena will implement back-office integration of Ciena's OneControl ESM with AAPT's OSS.
