Neutral Tandem’s New Ethernet eXchange Service
Forward-looking service providers are now accelerating their revenue opportunities in the rapidly growing Ethernet market.
The proliferation of Internet Protocol (IP) to deliver various services — including rich video content — is expected to lead to massive traffic growth, increasing the Internetwork connectivity needs of service providers. However, a lack of available internetwork connectivity solutions presents a major challenge for Ethernet service providers, often forcing them into complex and time-consuming customized interconnection agreements.
Cisco announced that Neutral Tandem — a leading provider of tandem interconnection services to wireless, wireline, cable and broadband telephony companies — has selected the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers to support its new Ethernet eXchange service.
The addition of Neutral Tandem’s Ethernet eXchange fills the void in the Ethernet market by providing Ethernet service providers a more efficient and simplified method of interconnecting on a many-to-many basis.
