Dakota Carrier Network (DCN) has selected Nortel to provide a Metro Ethernet network solution that will meet the high-bandwidth, video, voice and data demand from its carrier and enterprise customers. Dakota Carrier Network’s new Metro Ethernet solution is based on Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), a Nortel innovation that marries carrier-grade reliability and ease of service management with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of Ethernet to enable carriers to provide network services with great efficiency and control. Dakota Carrier Network provides network capacity and a variety of services across the state of
North Dakota. With a fibre-optic infrastructure capable of supporting bandwidth-hungry services, DCN provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for other carriers, high-speed Internet connectivity, high-capacity wireless backhaul and more. The company also serves large enterprise customers such as the state of
North Dakota with services such as virtual private networks that connect all state government agencies as well as the state’s schools. DCN wanted a way to provide that bandwidth more quickly and cost-effectively, with a greater degree of precision and control over their network.
