NewNet launches triple-play network

Georgian telco NewNet, which according to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms database was the second-largest fixed line operator with 85,000 local telephony subscribers at the end of 2005, has launched an IP/MPLS (internet protocol/multi-label protocol switching) based triple-play network. Installed by Israeli vendor Telrad Networks, the rollout follows four months of testing by commercial customers. The infrastructure is designed to meet NewNet’s expansion and capacity requirements for the next ten years.
