Nextgen launches Australia's first VPLS

07.03.2006

Telecommunications analyst Paul Budde said demand for VPLS in North America and Europe is huge and expects a similar rate of adoption in Australia.

IP VPNs have been available on the market since 2001 with the introduction of Metro VLANs in 2002.

Both offerings equalled a high degree of carrier control with surcharges on data value and network performance but the introduction of VPLS introduces a new level of flexibility and control for network administrators.
