3 Scandinavia Selects Cisco to Support Network Expansion

3 Scandinavia, a part of Hutchison Whampoa, has selected Cisco to support expansion of its broadband data services and to reduce network complexity.

According to Cisco, its internet protocol next-generation network, which has been deployed in conjunction with its Gold Certified Partner Atea, includes a Cisco Enhanced Gateway GPRS Support Node unit on Cisco 7600 Series Routers with Cisco Service and Application Modules for IP blades.

In addition, 3 Scandinavia is using Cisco 7600 Series Routers to provide 10 gigabits-per-second connectivity across its core network. The network also includes a Cisco SCE 8000 Series Service Control Engine, which is being deployed for classification, control and policy management of IP traffic.

Larry Lang, vice president and general manager of services and mobility business unit at Cisco, said: “Cisco’s technology helps enable 3 Scandinavia to meet its future needs for data throughput and capture a larger share of a growing market as users demand mobile access to online services and applications that have traditionally only been available by using a PC.”
