Technology

Our network is powered by Cisco. The network itself consists of a collapsed ring architecture coupled with an institutionally and route diverse redundant path through the North Island.

The technology architecture for private services is ethernet over MPLS layered on top of multi-ten gigabit direct ethernet switching, and augmented with DWDM. ISP services run on gigabit routing coupled to the underlying fabric. Cisco Systems are our strategic partner in terms of all switching and routing, and we enjoy a solid business relationship.

"..Cisco Systems is very excited to be closely partnered with FX Networks in designing and building this extensive Cisco powered network in New Zealand.

We believe this relationship will result in a broader range of services and a higher level of functionality being made available to New Zealand businesses, and believe this view has been validated through the confidence expressed by the State Services Commission in choosing FX Networks to be their carrier of choice for the Government Shared Network initiative."
