The Enron Intelligent Network is a new world network built from the ground up using the latest in optical technology to satisfy real business needs. With virtually unlimited bandwidth and built-in intelligence, the Enron Intelligent Network bridges the chasm between very expensive dedicated (Virtual Private) networks and the public Internet. Combining the power of Pure IP™ with embedded network intelligence, we’re enabling a whole new breed of application services. We call them ePowered™ application services.

The Enron Intelligent Network excels at transporting rich media and high-bandwidth, delay-sensitive content, including:

• Live television content
• Videoconferencing
• Streaming video
• Distance learning
• Network hosted applications
• New forms of entertainment

The Enron Intelligent Network is comprised of three components: Enron’s Pure IP™ fiber network, a One Hop community of distributed servers, and Enron Broadband Services’ powerful, patented software that enables our unique ePowered™ application services. The Enron Intelligent Network allows our partners and customers to deploy products and services that will revolutionize the delivery of rich media and other delay-sensitive, high-bandwidth solutions to the desktop.

This sweeping new approach provides a highly reliable, pay-for-what-you-need, bandwidth-on-demand method to deliver data and streaming media to three constituencies: content and application providers, network service providers, and to end-users who want more from the public Internet.

Built With the Best Equipment Available

To implement this new architecture, Enron Broadband Services has formed strategic alliances with Cisco Systems, Ciena Corporation, and Sun Microsystems, all leaders in network technology.

Cisco Systems' high speed backbone routers determine which path the IP bits will take across the Enron Broadband Services backbone. Ciena Corporations' Dense Wave Division Multiplexing creates the high-speed optical circuits. Enron Broadband Services provides the Pure IP™ fiber network over which the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) logical fibers operate and the operations and engineering expertise to architect, integrate, manage, and maintain the network.

The Pure IP™ advantage? No ATM. No Frame Relay. No SONET.
