One of the objectives of formation of RailTel was to spread telecom revolution in the remote and backward areas of the country by building state of the art multimedia network. In this process, RailTel has implemented country wide MPLS-IP backbone network to provide whole range of VPN & Internet services. The network has been built using high end routers of Juniper network. The network supports services like Layer 3 and Layer 2 VPN services, broadband internet access, multicast services etc. The MPLS network has POPs at 40 cities across the country and is in the process of being extended to other important cities/towns also. The IP services at more than 3375 POPs in the country will be extended through Ethernet interface available in the SDH networks at these locations which will in turn be connected to MPLS –IP backbone network at the 40 cities. The MPLS NOC is also equipped with Dorado Redcell and Infovista for network provisioning and performance management.
