Union Communications selects Pannaway s MAGNM-20 for its FTTH build-out

摘要

Pannaway Networks, designers and developers of next-generation Ethernet/IP multiservice access platforms for telecommunications service providers, announced that Union Communications, a New Hampshire-based independent local exchange carrier (ILEC) serving 7,000 rural subscribers, has selected its carrier-grade, high-density multiservice access platform (MSAP) the MAGNM-20. Union Communications, a 2007 Lightwave Magazine FTTXcellence Award winner for fiber innovation, is implementing the MAGNM-20 for Active P2P FTTH as it upgrades its existing copper network, giving subscribers more robust and reliable access to high-bandwidth triple-play services, including IPTV. I can easily see the need for a 30-Mbit broadband connection in the relatively near future as our subscribers begin to stream more video content off the Internet, said Ron Troyer, plant manager for Union Communications. Fiber-to-the-home is clearly the best solution for our current and future needs and Pannaway s MAGNM-20 is our platform of choice. Our MAGNM-20 installed easily and has enabled us to see an immediate improvement in performance.
