KANATA, Ont. (Dow Jones)--Newbridge Networks Corp. (NN) said Stentor, an alliance of Canada's regional telecommunications service providers, has selected the Siemens AG (G.SIE)/Newbridge MainStreetXpress 48020 MultiNetwork Service Controller (MNSC) to manage Canada's nationwide asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) backbone network built upon the MainStreetXpress 36170 Multiservices Switch. The value of the order wasn't disclosed. In a news release, the company said the national ATM backbone network will deliver a range of services to customers from a single, broadband core network. The MainStreetXpress 48020 MNSC can be used by individual service providers to consolidate the management of multiple networks into a common administration, or by multiple service providers to manage services which span multiple network or service provider boundaries, it said. By using the MainStreetXpress 48020 MNSC, service provider consortia such as the Stentor Alliance, can provide end-to-end managed virtual private network service and offer a complete portfolio of fully managed advanced communications services such as frame relay, ATM, local area network interconnect, premium video, advanced private line and Internet Protocol services, Newbridge said. The MainStreetXpress 48020 MNSC enables each partner in a consortium to act as the single point of contact for its customers, the company said. Siemens AG, Munich, Germany, is a networking company. Newbridge Networks designs, makes, markets and services a family of networking products and systems. (END) DOW JONES NEWS 10-23-97 09:36 AM
