(InfoWorld) - U.S. government contractor Lockheed Martin has begun to move part of its network to IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) as a way of showing customers how to make the transition, the company said. The White House's Office of Management and Budget in 2005 mandated that all government agencies upgrade their network backbones to IPv6 by 2008, and Lockheed Martin's project is meant as an example, said Frank Cuccias, director of the company's IPv6 Center of Excellence. "We're doing this to show customers that it can be done and how to do it the right way," Cuccias said late Wednesday. "We're continually looking to bleeding-edge technologies to see if they can be leveraged for our customers." Lockheed Martin's transition to IPv6 started earlier this year, Cuccias said. The first phase of the transition will convert 10 nodes on the company's Global Vision Network (GVNet), between California and the U.K. The first phase, which will convert a small piece of GVNet, should be finished by late this year, a Lockheed Martin spokesman said. The U.S. Department of Defense has led the push toward IPv6, and Lockheed Martin's conversion can help with the DOD's focus on net-centric warfare, Lockheed Martin said. "We see the enterprise as more than routers, switches, servers, etcetera," Cuccias said. "We see satellites, aircraft, missiles, and sensors as part of the enterprise." Several customers have approached Lockheed Martin about testing their applications and network designs on its IPv6 network, he said. Lockheed Martin is a long-time defense contractor that also focuses on electronic and information systems. The company, based in Bethesda, Maryland, reported sales of $39.6 billion in 2006.

(InfoWorld) - More than 100 consumers in the U.K. village of Wick are among the first customers to be connected to BT Group's next-generation telecommunications network, which went live Tuesday. The BT 21st Century Network, dubbed 21CN, is one of the most ambitious network overhauls of its kind in the world. Instead of using traditional circuit-switched systems to transport phone calls, the U.K. operator is switching its entire networking infrastructure to IP (Internet Protocol) technology. The move to an all-IP network will allow BT to offer consumers and businesses "triple-play" voice, data and video services over a single ADSL2+ (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) broadband connection, at speeds up to 24Mbps. Among the new services supported by the network are VOIP (voice over IP) and IPTV. At the same time, the move will allow the operator to lower operating costs. It expects to save around Â£1 billion ($1.9 billion) per year as a result of the network overhaul. Total cost of the overhaul is estimated at Â£10 billion. By mid-2007, BT plans to have switched more than 350,000 lines to its next-generation network, according BT spokeswoman Anna Easton. "We aim to use the first phase as a learning period," she said. The operator aims to have "the bulk" of the country's 30 million lines converted to IP by the end the decade, Easton said. As part of its carrier wholesale operations, BT will resell capacity over its new network to around 400 telecommunications service providers in the country. 21CN is an advanced IP broadband network system based on intelligent systems, such as SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), which allows the service provider to control the communications activity to meet a customer's requirements, and MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching), which enables the efficient designation and routing of IP traffic flows. BT launched its 21CN project around three years ago, according to Easton.
