Under their brand \u201cCitynet\u201d, they currently serve 5,500 customers and provide a variety of reliable networking and connectivity solutions for regional and international businesses.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tAs part of the deployment, Citynet migrated its services onto UfiSpace 9600-72XC switches, building on its earlier core network transition from traditional monolithic routers to a disaggregated architecture. The UfiSpace 9600-72XC open switches are powered by Broadcom\u2019s Qumran2c network chipset, which enables sophisticated HQoS (Hierarchical Quality of Service) models with four queues per subscriber. Using RtBrick\u2019s routing software, Citynet has transformed these switches into fully functional Broadband Network Gateways (BNGs), delivering premium subscriber services at scale and reduced cost.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tRtBrick\u2019s multiservice edge routing software is transforming the networks of a wide range of operators, from Deutsche Telekom, Europe\u2019s largest telco, to regional ISPs such as WOBCOM and Citynet.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tMatthias Giuliano, Senior Network Operations Engineer and Architect at Citynet<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tThe combination of open switches and RtBrick\u2019s software has been a game-changer for our high-speed internet services. We took the RtBrick configuration and migrated the entire access network to an open disaggregated architecture. On top of that, because we were already using Grafana and Prometheus systems to monitor and manage our network, the RtBrick software integrated straight out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tHannes Gredler, CTO and founder at RtBrick<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tThe open UfiSpace switches significantly enhance performance and port density, allowing for massive scalability and low power consumption. This approach provides operators like Citynet with unprecedented broadband speeds at a fraction of the cost of traditional routers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Citynet, a regional ISP in Austria and IT Brand of Hall AG, has deployed a fully disaggregated&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149259,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[100501,64,63,100502,237,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-149258","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-10gbps-broadband","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-disaggregated-routing","12":"tag-internet","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
