Iberdrola, a Spanish electric utility, has selected the Alcatel IP service router to migrate its network to an IP/MPLS backbone, enabled it to continue to deliver existing internal services and rapidly roll out new services — such as Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS). Specifically, Iberdrola will deploy the Alcatel 7750 Service Router (SR) and the Alcatel 5620 network management portfolio to enhance the bandwidth wholesale business through its telecommunications operator brand Neo-Sky and the recently launched Power Line Communications (PLC) offering, which provides Internet access through the home’s electrical wiring. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.alcatel.com
