Cisco Systems and Melita Cable

As part of the recent agreement to appoint Melita Cable Data Services as a member of the Cisco Powered Network, Cisco Systems is in talks with Melita Cable Data Services on the setting up of a demonstration site for the region for Cisco MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).

The new Cisco MPLS VPNs technology is currently being used by Melita Cable Data Services to offer wide area network data services in Malta and Gozo via their EuroDOCSIS cable modem infrastructure.

MPLS is rapidly emerging as a core technology for next-generation networks providing flexible, connectivity, scalability, privacy and quality of service superior to other comparable technologies available.
