Poland's Border Guards Deploy Cisco IP Telephony net

The Polish Border Guard is deploying a Cisco based IP telephony network that is described as one of the largest IP telephony deployments in Europe. The network, which connects some 300 border passes, checkpoints and posts along Poland’s 3,449 km-long state border, will consist of more than 6,500 Cisco IP phones. The network will also use Cisco CallManager IP PBXs, Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response systems and other technologies such as PIX Firewalls and Cisco VPN 3015 Concentrators. Routing is via Cisco 3600 and 3700 Series Multiservice Platforms with Survivable Remote Site Telephony. The future EU border checkpoints will each be equipped with long-range Ethernet connections featuring Catalyst 2950 Switches with Cisco 575 LRE Customer Premise Equipment devices. The Polish Border Guard currently uses a low-end legacy analog telecommunication system. Financial terms were not disclosed.
