Tier 1 Central American service provider taps Enablence again for broadband
JULY 28, 2010 — Enablence Technologies Inc. says it has secured a follow-on contract from an existing Tier 1 customer. Enablence would identify the customer only as “the dominant telecommunications service provider in its country.”The new contract is for the supply of BroadAccess-1000E systems for deployment at 12 new sites as the customer continues a national deployment of broadband Internet and voice services that began last year.This order follows the successful implementation of a large-scale Multiservice Access Network (MSAN) project, awarded to Teledata Networks in 2009. Last month, Enablence announced that it had completed its acquisition of Teledata to expand its international presence and round out its portfolio of optical access products for next-generation networks with Teledata’s BroadAccess MSAN platform and VDSL2 capabilities. Teledata has become part of Enablence’s Systems Division, while its chief executive, Eran Ziv, has assumed the role of president and general manager of the Enablence Systems International Division.The BroadAccess-1000E enables the customer to deliver voice and broadband applications for residential and business customers, Enablence says. The systems support the multi-functionalities of an MSAG, IP-DSLAM, and Ethernet access switch, providing a choice of services over fiber and copper.
