Huawei Technologies, one of the leading network solutions suppliers, recently signed a big contract with EgyNet, a premier data carrier in Egypt, to provide its well-known Quidway A8010 access server to address the increasing demands of Internet access in Egypt.
EgyNet, Egyptian Company for Networks, eventually closed its deal with Huawei for constructing a large volume dialup access network after an all-round rigid test was completed.
The results proved to be highly successful when compared with those from other providers from US and Europe attending this project.
Leveraging its established FR (Frame Relay) and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks, EgyNet chose A8010 Expert access server to construct its first large volume dialup access network geared to its existing and potential needs for its ISP customers nationwide.
Under the contract, Huawei will provide EgyNet with its vastly deployed A8010 access servers with a super large number of ports for this ongoing project. Huawei`s competitive A8010 has reportedly taken more than 70% share in the Chinese market, one of the largest and most competitive telecoms markets in the world.
With this large volume dialup access network, EgyNet is able to offer an easier and faster access to Internet for tens of thousands of Netizens for its ISP customers, mainly in the populous cities such as Cairo, Alexandria and others.
Based on its proven port wholesale technology, the A8010-based dial-up access network is able to effectively minimise traffic congestion and largely improve facility efficiency of EgyNet`s existing data networks.
On the other hand, the A8010-based port wholesale solution saves enormous cost for EgyNet`s ISP customers on construction, management and maintenance of their separate IP data and subscribers` access networks.
The innovative wholesale solution will help professional ISPs to focus on their service for their end-users. It can effectively handle port wholesale service-related issues for various ISPs, big and small, which serves as a major differentiator from other providers` equipment.
The port wholesale service mainly consists of Virtual ISP and ISP management, including ISP traffic statistics, billing management, security management and others.
For this vital project, EgyNet said it felt quite happy and confident that Quidway A8010 has a unique flexibility of port wholesale solution RMC (Routing Management Center).
Another strong point is that A8010 shows an unparalleled performance in supporting SS7 signalling system in every aspect.
When each A8010 is used as an SDP (Signalling Distributed Point), it can be configured with 192 signalling links; in other words, the whole-distributed systems can process up to 200 000 subscribers.
According to the contract, this dial-up access network based on A8010 will be completed as scheduled in November 2001.
