JAKARTA: State-owned telecommunications firm PT Telkom has
agreed to use the Internet system created by American firm Cisco
System to improve its Internet service.

Telkom said in a statement that Cisco 7600s will enable the
state company to dramatically increase Internet access, speed and
bandwidth in the country.

"Utilizing Cisco 7600s will enable PT Telkom to break through
service and bandwidth barriers and create profitable, value-added
services, offering IP-Virtual Private Networks, video and voice
conferencing, network-based security and e-applications," the
statement said.

Cisco has installed the system in 100 towns and cities across
the country.

The project worth US$11 million is expected to be completed in
June this year. -- JP
