Netplus deploying IP Infusion’s routers, software to scale network

Homegrown wireline internet service provider (ISP) Netplus Broadband is deploying IP Fusion’s OcNOS aggregation routers and software while replacing Chinese gear maker ZTE’s routers.

“IP Infusion today announced that Netplus Broadband has chosen IP Infusion’s OcNOS to strengthen and scale its network as the company expands broadband services to all its customers across the region,” the companies said in a joint statement.

Netplus is deploying OcNOS’s Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Ethernet VPN (EVPN) features to enhance network security, efficiency and transmission rates.

“The IP Infusion software, running on UfiSpace’s open networking hardware platform, interoperates seamlessly with Netplus’ legacy Nokia and Cisco routers, and also replaces ZTE,” the statement added. Netplus’ distribution partner Antriksh Digital Solution is supporting the service solution, it said.

Netplus operates majorly in north India and provides its broadband, fixed-line, and enterprise services in over 400 cities across eight states.

“We are continually striving to provide the best possible internet service to our customers, who rely on us for secure, fast and economical connections,” said Arshdeep Singh Mundi, Executive Director at Netplus. “Our research confirmed that IP Infusion’s open networking OcNOS software not only boasts superior technology, but is highly cost-effective, easy to integrate and will strategically position us for further expansion.”

“Netplus chose to integrate OcNOS for its demonstrated reliability, competitive pricing and the IP Infusion commitment to customer service,” said Atsushi Ogata, CEO and President of IP Infusion. “We are confident they will find network disaggregation to be highly beneficial with many market attributes including lower CAPEX and OPEX and a shorter time to rolling out new services to their customers.”
