PT Fiber Media Indonesia (FMI), a telecommunications services provider for government and private sector in the Greater Jakarta area, has engaged Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise with a new networking solution that resolves technology challenges and improves the user experience.
The new infrastructure promises a higher connection speed, higher access bandwidth for subscribers and increased backbone connectivity as well.
The ALE solution introduces shortest path bridging (SPB) into the FMI network, which delivers traffic on the shortest path available and enables multiple active paths for more rapid convergence after a network problem.
SPB is primarily focused on addressing the shortcomings of the aging Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) used by FMI and on improving their network’s performance and reliability.
Also, SPB ensures security by separating different types of traffic into “containers” to prevent unauthorized access.
“We were pleased to be able to collaborate with our partner PT Quinsis Lintas Mitra to showcase in a trial for FMI how our OmniSwitch solution with SPB could help them resolve the issues their network was facing and improve performance for their customers,” said Novse Hardiman, country manager for Indonesia at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
Hardiman said SPB is significantly simpler to deploy and maintain than more traditional methods of moving network traffic.
“As our business grows, our aim is always to provide an efficient, reliable network that exceeds the expectations of our subscribers,” said Budi Aditya, CEO of PT Fiber Media Indonesia.
