Nokia to upgrade BBIX network to massively increase bandwidth and enhance operational efficiency
Nokia announced that BBIX, Inc. ("BBIX"), a leading
Internet Exchange in the world, has selected Nokia's IP routing technology to
upgrade its network to 400GE to meet the demand of growing data traffic. Once
deployed, BBIX will not only increase capacity, but will improve stability,
flexibility, and reliability of BBIX's network operations, translating to
superior services to its customers.
BBIX
will deploy Nokia's 7220 Interconnect Router (IXR) that runs the Nokia SR Linux
Network Operating System (NOS), allowing BBIX to ensure high-quality network
interconnection even as the number of high-bandwidth customers continues to
rise. The deployment will start in Japan this year and will be subsequently
expanded to other markets, including Singapore.
Hideyuki Sasaki, President & CEO at BBIX, said: "Managing
today's explosive internet traffic growth requires more than just capacity—it
demands intelligent, reliable infrastructure. Nokia's solution provides the
sophisticated capabilities we need to handle high-volume traffic while maintaining
exceptional service quality. Their technology enables us to build a network
infrastructure that excels in three critical areas: cost-effectiveness,
reliable performance, and seamless scalability."
Kent Wong, Vice President and Head of IP Networks, Asia Pacific at
Nokia, said: "Nokia is at the forefront of developing
a comprehensive range of IP solutions in line with the evolving needs of the
industry. A thorough evaluation of our routing portfolio convinced BBIX of the
strength of our solutions. We are delighted to work with BBIX to upgrade its
network with our 7220 IXR that runs the SR Linux NOS to help our customer
improve its operational efficiency while its customers benefit from a massively
scalable and future-proof network."
