Internet Egypt
Infrastructure ...
100% Redundancy with Dual Marine Fiber
bandwidths and BGP Routing to USA and Europe
Internet Egypt's Infrastructure is unique in its
configuration, power and flexibility, being the
only ISP in the private sector with full
redundancy and Backup provided by two completely
independent marine fiber bandwidths on both the
flag and sea-me-we3 international cable systems.
Internet Egypt operates an Internet bandwidth
with multiple of 155 Mb/s (STM1) and is
considered a Class A Internet Carrier in Egypt
with a Class A License from the National Telecom
Regulation Authority (NTRA).
Both the Flag and sea-me-we3 links are duplex
(upload/download), and are fully symmetrical,
with minimum latency and the shortest route to
any location in Europe and the USA (realized
through BGP routing). They are operated is in a
load-balancing mode to optimize traffic
throughput, providing a 100% backup facility and
full redundancy.
Internet Egypt is connected to 4 International
Carriers on 2 Different Paths using state of the
art Dynamic Routing & BGP Technique with
Redundant Routers. figure1
Advanced Infrastructure as a result of
Consolidation with EgyNet
In Recent years, Internet Egypt has been
consolidated with EgyNet (The Egyptian Company
for Networks) which has been awarded an
exclusive license from the Telecom Regulatory
Board to build, operate and manage the first
privately owned public data network in Egypt.
This Network has recently been built by Lucent
Technology, a leader in the communication
industry, and is capitalized at over $ 100
Million.
EgyNet is in the process of connecting 100 frame
relay and ATM nodes throughout Egypt, for
connectivity to anywhere in the country. All
nodes are equipped with Lucent switches, which
can accommodate immediate plug-in,
router-to-router connectivity irrespective of
distances involved. 24x7 technical support is
provided, and all connections include modems
from each side. An ATM backbone with a capacity
of 34MB is also operating, capable of providing
high-speed Internet connections, and carrying
video on demand in all nodes throughout the
country. Access servers are also being installed
in all nodes, providing timely, efficient and
flexible connectivity to any location in Egypt
in the shortest possible time.
As a result of the consolidation, enormous
improvements have been triggered both in
International bandwidth and local
infrastructure; Internet Egypt is currently
provisioning multiple of 155MB (STM1) bandwidth
for the exclusive usage of its clients.
This greatly expanded international bandwidth is
a giant step forward in terms of capacity to
provide dedicated bandwidth, and provides
enormous facilities for expansion and growth, as
need arises, in a timely, flexible and efficient
manner. No delays are involved in the
provisioning of extra bandwidth, due to improved
technologies such as DSL & frame relay. |
