Leading
Philippine ICT Solutions Provider Strengthens Services Portfolio with Coriant
Packet Transport Platform
Converge ICT (CICT) Solutions, the leading provider of pure fiber
internet solutions in the Philippines, today announced it has further
strengthened its Carrier Ethernet services capabilities with successful
completion of MEF CE 2.0 Certification. The certification augments the
company’s core solutions competencies.
The rigorous CE 2.0 testing included certification of E-Line EPL/EVPL,
E-Access EPL/EVPL, and E-LAN/EP-LAN service configurations, and was performed
across CICT’s deployed metro core and regional transport infrastructure
leveraging the Coriant® 7090 Packet Transport Platform and Coriant Transcend™
Chorus network management solution.
“This important milestone reinforces our ability to meet our customers’
stringent performance requirements with a portfolio of best-in-class Ethernet
services,” said Jesus Romero, Chief Operating Officer, Converge ICT Solutions.
“Our advanced Carrier Ethernet capabilities also provide the reliable
foundation for enhanced service interoperability and interconnection leveraging
standards-based CE 2.0 interworking.”
Currently in the midst of a massive nationwide fiber network rollout,
CICT has taken a holistic approach to the company’s expansion efforts. As a
result, CICT’s strategy includes ensuring that its portfolio of product
offerings is fully reinforced to better serve its target markets and customers.
That is the primary reason behind its engagement with industry-leading packet
optical transport provider Coriant, who provided support during the certification
process.
The MEF CE 2.0 Services Certification Program enables service providers
to certify that their connectivity services comply with the relevant MEF
specifications. The program has been a driving force behind the successful
deployment of Carrier Ethernet services worldwide. The Converge CE 2.0 services
certification testing was administered by MEF’s approved third-party testing
entity Iometrix, and was conducted in July.
Nan Chen, President of MEF said, “MEF congratulates Converge upon the successful
completion of the rigorous testing associated with MEF CE 2.0 services
certification, our widely recognized standard of excellence for service
performance in the global marketplace. This achievement demonstrates the
company’s commitment to developing and delivering innovative Ethernet services that
meet demanding application requirements.”
The CICT nationwide deployment of the Coriant® 7090 Packet Transport
Platform spans over 450 sites and enables Converge to better serve the
broadband, wholesale, and cloud connectivity needs of its small, medium, and large
enterprise customers.
"We are pleased to be a trusted partner to Converge ICT and were
excited to have the opportunity to provide configuration support during the
company’s recent MEF certification testing,” said Alfred Ling, Managing
Director, North Asia & Oceania, Coriant. “Our CE 2.0-capable transport solutions
are purpose-built for the fast, efficient, and reliable introduction of carrier-grade Ethernet connectivity, which enables service
providers like Converge to differentiate their end-to-end service offerings.”
