Carphone Warehouse Networks (CPWN) has announced the deployment of new high-performance Ethernet routers this week.
The company is employing MX960 Ethernet Services Routers provided by NASDAQ-listed networking business, Juniper Networks.
Juniper claims that the MX960 is the largest capacity-carrying Ethernet platform currently available, and the routers are forming a central part of CPWN's "Next-Generation Network" (NGN).
NGN already has over one million end users, and combines Ethernet and IP technology to support Carphone Warehouse's TalkTalk free broadband service.
At present, NGN covers 70 per cent of all UK households, and through expanding this and integration of the recently-purchased AOL UK business, Carphone Warehouse hopes to have 3.5 million broadband users by March 2010.
"CPWN has delivered the first mass market end-to-end NGN in the UK, with unmatched reliability and efficiency that gives our retail customers - CPW, AOL and Opal - the ability to compete very effectively both on price and increasingly on service differentiation," said managing director Neil McArthur.
