Global One Selects Siemens and Newbridge as
Strategic Partners for its ATM-based Backbone
Network
MUNICH, GERMANY--Siemens AG and Newbridge Networks Corp. announced
today that Global One, a worldwide
joint venture of Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom [NYSE:FTE - news] and Sprint,
has selected the MainStreetXpress
ATM Switching System for the development of the next stage of its worldwide
ATM-based backbone network. The
agreement that has been signed between Global One and Siemens is for an initial period
of five years and covers the supply
and support of the MainStreetXpress for Global One worldwide.
The extended ATM-based backbone network will facilitate the high speed transport of
the rapidly growing traffic between
the most important business centers in North America, Europe and Asia and so
excellently complement the existing Global
One worldwide ATM-based network.
A first phase of this development, based on the MainStreetXpress product of Siemens
and Newbridge, linking the key
business center cities worldwide, is being implemented and managed by Global One.
This provides an ATM-based
backbone infrastructure network to interconnect and provision seamless services for all
customers, including those of its
shareholders, Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom and Sprint, on a worldwide basis.
This will facilitate the further expansion of Global One network services by providing not
only new Permanent Virtual Circuit
(PVC) and Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) based ATM services but also by enhancing
the high-speed backbone for the
existing Global One voice, data and multimedia services.
Global One is currently confirming the configuration compatibility of the
MainStreetXpress with other systems in its
laboratories.
