HERZLIYA, Israel, August 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teledata Networks, a
leading global provider of innovative Multiservice Access solutions for NGN
(Next Generation Networks), will provide an Access Network solution to
Telefonica El Salvador, a part of the Telefonica Group, supplying wireless
and wireline services, in the framework of its strategic cooperation with
Italtel, the leading company for solutions and services for new generation IP
networks.
The BroadAccess MSAG solution which is currently being deployed by
Italtel in El Salvador provides a comprehensive one-stop turnkey solution
comprising best of breed technology of Teledata Networks Access Networking
and Cisco Metro Ethernet Equipment. The solution supports both a traditional
V5.2 interface and an option for migration to IP/NGN, and will deliver a
similarly varied mix of services, including Telephony, ISDN, ADSL & SHDSL and
Ethernet to subscribers.
The project follows an earlier success in which Teledata Networks systems
were used to seamlessly migrate Telefonica Guatemala's Access Networks to
NGN. The success of the Guatemala project convinced Telefonica El Salvador to
reproduce the project in El Salvador, which is considered in itself a
promising stepping stone to further ventures in Latin America.
"The triple alliance between our companies has already proven its value
to the customer," said Eran Ziv, President & CEO, Teledata Networks. "The
blend of Teledata Networks' long-standing expertise in the field of Access
Networks, with Italtel and Telefonica's regional strength generates a
surefire winner."
"We are extremely pleased that Telefonica El Salvador chose Italtel's
competencies as System Integrator and Teledata Networks' access networks
know-how for the development of their network" - said Antonio Cassese, EVP
International markets Italtel - "In recent years, Italtel has attained
notable success and it has increased its visibility in Latin American
markets, thanks to relevant investments and the development of leading-edge
solutions with highly qualified technological partner."
