Affärsverken selects the ASR6000 Gigabit Ethernet switch from PacketFront.

Affärsverken, a utilities company in Karlskrona in the south of Sweden, is upgrading approximately 7000 ports in the local municipality’s network that serves official organizations including schools, local government offices, and other public facilities that require data communication services.

“We have selected the ASR6000 because of its ability to deliver customized services for the municipality network” says Jan Lindqvist, Manager Business Area Broadband from Affärsverken. “In particular, the ASR6000 feature for authenticating and enabling different services for different end-users such as teachers and students in the school part of the network were key features in selecting the platform.’’

The ASR6000 provides Gigabit Ethernet ports and Layer 3 wire speed switching, as well as full IPv6 compliance. With its innovative features, the ASR6000 helps network operators to reduce operational costs. The ASR6000 can be easily integrated with standard authentication services to provide complete service control — even for individual adapted services.

“The ASR6000 being deployed into the municipality network in Karlskrona will provide the local government with a future-proof infrastructure that can be adapted to their demands for secure and flexible services. At the same time the network operator, Affärsverken, will benefit from simplified operations and re-use of infrastructure resources through its already deployed broadband network.” says Fredrik Nyman, Access Product Manager for PacketFront. “

The implemented solution provides an efficient mix of municipality control over services and network operator control over infrastructure and is unique for the GTTH market.
