"In addition to aiding network efficiency, our TN portfolio will help SOFTBANK TELECOM realize revenue generating opportunities in Japan." SOFTBANK TELECOM will use UTStarcom's NetRing(TM) TN products to help realize significant operating expense savings by offering a power efficient and space-optimized design with enhanced operation and maintenance capabilities. The NetRing(TM) TN solution also includes a powerful service-oriented network management that will enable SOFTBANK TELECOM to create new services rapidly. "We are migrating to a network solution which unifies enterprise, consumer and mobile networks, with the aim of realizing the efficient utilization of the network and a reduction in operating costs," said Junichi Miyakawa, executive vice president, director of SOFTBANK TELECOM Corp. "We have confidence that the introduction of UTStarcom's NetRing TN series will enable us to meet those goals, being an effective solution for responding flexibly to a diverse range of new business needs and thus greatly contributing to the further expansion of the SOFTBANK Group's business and an increase in our profitability." Specifically, SOFTBANK TELECOM will use UTStarcom's NetRing(TM) TN platform to migrate its existing aggregation network from legacy Synchronous digital hierarchy/ asynchronous transfer mode (SDH/ATM) to a packet based network for the delivery of high-speed services. This will enable SOFTBANK TELECOM to offer new Ethernet-based Enterprise services - in addition to high-speed broadband, voice, video services - in the Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya regions.
