Cisco announced today that Abertis Telecom, a leading provider of video and Carrier Ethernet transport to broadcasters and the broader telecom market in Spain, is enhancing its Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) by deploying a Cisco Internet Protocol/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) system based on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers and Cisco 7600 Series Routers. Amid the accelerated growth of video for businesses and consumers and the digital transformation of the broadcast market, Abertis is preparing its IP NGN to enable more bandwidth and new capabilities, such as video contribution, video production, Carrier Ethernet transport, and primary distribution and content distribution services. The upgraded IP/MPLS architecture will allow Abertis to deliver new types of services, optimize its capacity and realize operational expenditure savings. Such innovations will be required for current video demands and future innovations such as 3D video, increased interactivity and more pervasive high-definition television experiences across Spain.
