RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, May 9, 2011 – Overture Networks, the industry’s trusted Carrier Ethernet solutions provider, today announced that innovative, multi-platform technologies are at the heart of Puerto Rico’s first mid-band Metro Ethernet network. A leading telecommunications services, wireless, and Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) in the U.S. and Latin America, Optivon Inc., has deployed the company’s award-winning HN6100, HN400, and HN500 customer premises equipment (CPE) technologies as part of a multimillion-dollar investment into network infrastructure upgrades and enhancements. With the deployment, its network is reliably delivering high-bandwidth native Ethernet and direct Internet access to wide area networks across Puerto Rico.
“The debut of Puerto Rico’s first mid-band Metro Ethernet network is a milestone for Optivon and our customers alike,” said Luis G. Romero, president and chief executive officer (CEO), Optivon. “The demand for dependable, ubiquitous, 24/7 access to the high-speed, high-bandwidth Ethernet service needed to power today’s always-connected lifestyle is continuing to accelerate. With Overture’s world-class technologies, we’re better able to address that growing demand and deliver the high-quality service our customers have come to expect, no matter where they are within our network.”
Optivon’s network integrates a range of technologies pioneered by Overture, the recognized market leader in Carrier Ethernet edge and aggregation platforms. These award-winning technologies include the HN6100, HN400, and HN500 CPE. The modular, multi-service HN6100 is a flexible platform enabling delivery of any service via any media from any port or slot, including high-rate Ethernet over copper. The HN400 facilitates point-to-point symmetrical Ethernet bandwidth and services, while the HN500 is an EoTDM demarcation platform for bonding of multiple PDH signals into a single connection. Together, the technologies form an efficient, cost-effective rapid-deployment Ethernet solution.
