* China Unicom leverages Nokia 7950 XRS core router to address surging
Internet traffic and national broadband initiative
* Nokia technology helps China Unicom improve speed and response times to meet
future capacity demands and support the country's national broadband plan.
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is expanding its exclusive partnership with China Unicom
for the high-end core router CR-B for three continuous years with its large-
capacity core router platform - the 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS). China
Unicom selected the 7950 XRS family to build a more intelligent, flexible and
scalable core network with the ability to meet future capacity demands and
support the country's national broadband plan.
China Unicom initially deployed the 7950 XRS into metro networks in six
provinces - Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai -
and this year plans to scale out to an additional four including Heilongjiang,
Henan, Zhejiang and Hunan to improve speed and response times for the fixed and
mobile broadband subscribers.
In 2013 China launched its Broadband China initiative to invest $182 billion to
boost the speed and quality of Internet services across the country. The aim is
to reduce the digital divide by providing businesses and urban and rural
citizens with national broadband coverage by 2020. In keeping with this
initiative, China Unicom has been continually improving the scale and capacity
of its networks.
Nokia's industry-leading 7950 XRS platform delivers the scale, efficiency and
versatility required so China Unicom can address the full range of core
networking requirements with room to also meet capacity demands well into the
future. In addition, the XRS is based on a highly programmable Network Processor
(NP) architecture that provides the capacity and capabilities needed as cloud
service requirements evolve.
