Corrigent to Deploy Converged Broadcasting and Telecommunication Network for Hanaro Telecom

(Business News & Technology News, 3 Sep 2008)

Corrigent Systems' CM-100 product line was selected by Hanaro Telecom as a main network infrastructure to deliver premium IPTV services. Hanaro Telecom, South Korea's second largest broadband carrier, plans to offer differentiated content and value-added services as part of its competitive IPTV service. A couple of years ago, Hanaro Telecom launched a 100Mbps broadband access service for residential areas, and plans to increase its penetration using FTTH technology, as an enabler for its advanced IPTV services.

Corrigent's technology enables Hanaro Telecom to provide legacy TDM services together with advanced data services, such as broadcast TV (IPTV) over a converged network infrastructure. Corrigent's CM platforms offer a 10Gbps solution combining Ethernet transport, full support of legacy SONET/SDH capabilities, MPLS and RPR technologies, with end-to-end network management. It is designed to deliver highly scalable, cost-effective and resilient video, voice and data multi-play services.

"Corrigent's Ethernet transport technology will enable us to offer value-added services to our broadband access subscribers," says Hyunchan Kim, a team leader of Hanaro Telecom. "We evaluated solutions from other leading vendors and chose the CM product line based on its impressive feature set that will allow Hanaro Telecom to deliver high quality, reliable advanced services to our customers."
