Next Communications Enhances Network with Cisco

Next Communications, a Miami-based voice and video provider, announced today that it has deployed Cisco technology for its Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) solution to provide a strong foundation for meeting present and future consumer and business services requirements.

Next Communications' enhanced network supports the scale and performance necessary for advanced video-based services, including wholesale, high-definition video and audio-only collaboration services on wired and wireless networks. The company's objective is to exceed four billion billable minutes in 2012 without adding operational expenses. Integral to this will be the deployment of the Cisco ASR 9000 and 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers for 100GE port capacity and greater resiliency.
