Intune Networks - from tunable lasers to carrier-class packet switching and transport

"As Facebook has a programming interface whereby any programmer can join and develop an application - and the same goes for iPhone and Android - Intune offers an application interface for the network that is embedded in the switch. A user can thus set up an application for a web services portal that will call up bandwidth on demand from the network. For example, a user could provide a network for a social network on Facebook which would only be paid for when used".

The Intune solution means that operators can allow their customers to create new services on the network, effectively allowing business customers to create any service they need.
