Juniper Networks Selected by PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk. for Enhanced Services-enabled Internet Infrastructure
TELKOM's Core and IP Backbone Network Adds Smart IP Services for Customers
Sunnyvale, CA - September 6, 2001 - Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR), a leading provider of next-generation Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure systems, today announced that PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk. (TELKOM), a leading telecommunications service provider in Indonesia, is upgrading its national IP core with Juniper Networks M10 Internet backbone routers. The high-speed, ultra-reliable infrastructure will place TELKOM among the leading service providers within the Asia Pacific region, enabling it to offer revenue-generating smart IP services. These services include premium accessibility and value-added applications, including virtual private networks (VPNs), voice over IP (VoIP), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and video on demand. This new installation is the first fully deployed and operational Juniper Networks network in Indonesia.
"Our goal is to be one of the best Info-Com providers in the region, and deploying Juniper Networks routers takes us one step further towards achieving that goal. Having upgraded our existing network across Indonesia, we can now provide high-performance peering services and data center access. TELKOM chose Juniper Networks routers for their fast packet-switching capabilities, robustness, reliability, and service-creation capabilities," said Rizkan Chandra, manager of the Network Unit at TELKOM.
TELKOM currently owns the most popular dial-up Internet service provider (ISP) in Indonesia: TELKOMNet Instant. The Juniper Networks M10 routers have been deployed in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Semarang, forming a triangular core through which all other cities will eventually be connected. Later, more nodes will be connected to serve other highly data-centric sites.
"With deregulation in the Indonesian telecommunications market, currently, it's important for operators to be able to respond quickly to market changes. This deal demonstrates the need for a high-performance, reliable IP infrastructure that is intelligent, feature-rich, and scalable. By enabling value-added, revenue-generating services, Juniper Networks solutions deliver unique benefits for domestic carriers, like TELKOM, who are facing heavy competition in local markets. TELKOM's core IP backbone network is now capable of delivering a range of IP-based voice and data services that will enable TELKOM to generate new revenue streams while reducing operational costs," said Martin Claridge, director, South Asia operations, Juniper Networks.
