| Managed network supplier deploys Zhone solutions to provide Ethernet services to 700 public sector sites |
Oakland, CA, Nov 28, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced that it was selected by MLL Telecom to help deliver high-speed, broadband services to more than 600 public sector facilities in the County of Suffolk, England. MLL Telecom, a leading managed network supplier in the U.K., is using Zhone's MXK and ETHX solutions for approximately two-thirds of its sites to provide reliable Ethernet services to schools, libraries and county council buildings. Zhone secured this deployment as a result of its partnership with U.K.-based Imtech Telecom.
As the British government forges ahead with its plan to upgrade the nation's internet infrastructureby 2015, organizations throughout the U.K. look for cost-effective ways to roll out faster broadband services across Wide Area Networks (WAN). For this reason, public sector organizations turn to managed network suppliers like MLL Telecom for reliable, high-speed Ethernet services.
This new network deployment is significant because schools across the region are already consuming data at a rate equivalent to downloading 40 books every second. By using Zhone's platform to deliver 10Mbps services over the existing copper infrastructure, the new network provides an increase in capacity, which is five times the magnitude of the existing network.
"Zhone was chosen for its industry-leading access technology and high level of knowledge in the FTTx and EFM space," said Graham Keeble, head of operations for MLL Telecom. "Our objective for this project was to cost effectively deliver high-speed, reliable Ethernet services to the county of Suffolk using the existing copper infrastructure. Zhone was the perfect partner in helping us achieve this goal, because of the flexibility, scalability and ease-of-use of its solutions."
In addition to delivering significant savings and increased capacity, the new network allows MLL Telecom to deploy fiber access services, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 + and very-high-speed Digital Subscriber Line 2 (ADSL2 +/VDSL2) from the same platform in the future, if required.
"This partnership with MLL Telecom is one of many happening in the U.K. as the nation works to upgrade its communications infrastructure," said Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer for Zhone. "Managed network suppliers globally continue to recognize Zhone as a leading provider of FTTC and EFM deployments. The U.K.'s ambitious plan to implement a fiber network underscores the fact that fast, broadband networks are essential to remaining competitive in today's global market."
