| Argentinian utility deploys MxK and zNID GPON ONTs to provide high speed broadband |
Oakland, CA, Mar 18, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced that Cooperativa Electrica de Lujan has selected Zhone for a new GPON deployment in the city of Lujan through a strategic partnership with Trans Industrias Electronicas S.A. Zhone's MxK 319 and zNID 2402 GPON ONTs were selected for the network to increase the cooperative's bandwidth offering to its customers and to also provide opportunities to be more competitive within the industry.
Cooperativa Electrica de Lujan is the incumbent power supplier, servicing approximately 40,000 customers in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina. Taking advantage of its footprint, the cooperative also offers internet access services with a variety of copper and wireless technologies to its subscribers. Recently, the cooperative decided to deploy fiber solutions to better compete with major telecommunications and cable providers in the region, choosing Zhone because of the company's reputation for proven technology, high quality products and excellent customer service.
"We plan to deploy Zhone FTTH solutions to help us better position our services against competitive offerings, as well as expand our offering into areas where our competitors are currently lacking," said Pablo Fernandez, technical manager at Cooperativa Electrica de Lujan. "Our decision to deploy GPON is a direct response to customer desire for bandwidth speed and affordability."
The deployment with the electrical cooperative in Latin America, made possible through a strategic partnership with Trans Industrias Electronicas, strengthens Zhone's portfolio and aligns with its corporate focus to continuously meet the highest standards of customer satisfaction by constantly improving the capabilities, quality, and delivery of goods and services. Zhone's MxK platform is a fully redundant, carrier-grade all-IP platform and the industry's first terabit access concentrator. Featuring industry-leading density, scalability and switching capacity, the MxK provides non-blocking capacity of up to 3,600 100 Mbps GPON subscribers or 360 1G Active Ethernet subscribers.
"Zhone's MxK solutions will enable Cooperativa Electrica de Lujan to compete with other providers in the market while growing its service offerings," said Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone. "Zhone's portfolio of MxK and zNID GPON ONTs will help expand the company's reach in the city and meet customer demands for high speeds and bandwidth hungry applications, showing product flexibility for adapting to markets other than traditional telcos."
Trans Industrias Electronicas is an engineering company operating more than 25 years in the Argentinean telecommunication market. It has been a reseller of Zhone products since 2005 and introduced Zhone DSLAM, MSAN, and OLT products to more than 20 customers in the market.
