RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Jan. 14, 2014 – Overture, innovating at the metro service edge for service providers and network operators worldwide, today announced Alpheus Communications, a leading metro-regional network provider in Texas, is deploying the company’s Ethernet over Copper (EoC) solutions as part of a significant, ongoing network expansion. Overture’s bonded copper solutions allow for the rapid turn up of Ethernet services from 1Mbps to 100Mbps, providing operators a readily available means to reach more customers, more quickly, with high-speed business services, mobile backhaul and cloud connectivity offerings.
“We deployed the Overture solution in anticipation of our carrier and business customers migrating from traditional network options to modern, standards-based Ethernet services,” said Francisco Maella, Chief Operating Officer, Alpheus Communications. “By utilizing Ethernet over Copper, carriers and enterprises benefit from scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness, while our channel partners have more revenue-generating options from selling a broader portfolio of Ethernet services on the Alpheus network.”
“So much of our success is based on our customers’ success, and that is why our Carrier Ethernet 2.0 solutions are designed to provide unparalleled service assurance, as well as rich feature sets that allow them to be easily deployed and managed,” said Mike Aquino, CEO, Overture. “It’s rewarding to see a valued customer like Alpheus experiencing notable growth and taking advantage of expanding market opportunities utilizing EoC.
