Actelis to supply broadband services to Philippine
Telco - The company declined to disclose the value
of the contract although market sources believe it
to be worth to several million dollars
Sources inform "Globes" that Israeli
start-up Actelis Networks, a manufacturer of equipment
for Ethernet transmission over copper networks,
has secured a contract with a telecommunications
company in the Philippines. The company declined
to disclose the value of the contract although market
sources believe it to be worth to several million
dollars.
Actelis will supply its 'Ethernet in the first
mile' (EFMPlus) solutions to Bayan Telecommunications
Inc. (BayanTel), the second largest fixed line telecommunications
company in the Philippines. Actelis's solutions
will enable BayanTel to use existing copper lines
to extend the reach of their Ethernet services beyond
their fiber network to more businesses with fiber-like
speeds and resiliency. The systems will be used
to provide direct service to business customers,
and they will also enable the connection of remote
DSL systems for the provision of broadband services
to domestic customers.
BayanTel assistant VP and head of network engineering
Ronald G. Brusola said, "Actelis' EFMplus technology-based
solutions seamlessly integrate with our fiber-optic
network equipment, enabling us to deliver high-quality
broadband services to our customers. The company's
DSLAM backhaul solution also empowers us to extend
our reach and provide the same high bandwidth broadband
services to remote subscribers that subscribers
living closer to the urban centers enjoy."
