 Why Consolidate the Network?
Consolidated, Converged Network

• Reduces Opex : Only one network to manage, only one service control point
• Reduces Capex: All services delivered through same network element
• Service Ubiquity : Services are access network independent
• Flexibility : Future-proof network for new applications and services
• Better User Experience: Enabled with common services platform

 What do our Customers say?

“We look forward to utilizing the new, advanced software

features in Redback’s SmartEdge Service Gateway and the
powerful Ethernet traffic modules which take advantage of
their new PPA2 Broadband IP Engine. As we continue to
expand our broadband network, it is critical for us to be able
to scale its performance for greater bandwidth, more users
MS Choi and new services and network processing.”
Head of Internet Planning

“To sustain our broadband network growth, combining

multiple functions in a single platform and being able to
seamlessly scale performance and end-to-end quality is a
strategic capability that we value highly. Strategically, we
must be able to take on new opportunities and challenges
Stijn Vander Plaetse in offering video, voice and data in a market that continues
