NTELOS Adopts Pannaway Technologies' SCN for Converged IP Access Needs
Leading Virginia Telco Transforms the Service Capabilities of its Legacy ATM Access and TDM Voice Network with IP-Ethernet from Pannaway
Portsmouth, NH
"Pannaway's products worked as advertised," said Glenn Butler, director of technology planning at NTELOS. "In a matter of days, Pannaway rose to the challenge and demonstrated carrier-grade, SIP-based digital voice when integrated with our existing softswitch. Pannaway is delivering a working solution that allows us to transition our TDM-based voice customers to a unified architecture capable of supporting next-gen converged IP services."
Key components of NTELOS' new IP and Ethernet network include Pannaway's BAS-300™ (Broadband Access Switch) and BARTM (Broadband Aggregation Router). The BAS-300 series is an aggregator of simultaneous ADSL2+ and provides native VoIP enabled POTS support, as well as lifeline POTS. The BAR is a Gigabit Ethernet aggregator and internetworking switch that simplifies NTELOS' ATM to IP transition by allowing for the simultaneous aggregation of their legacy packet DSLAMs and Broadband Access Switches.
"NTELOS' selection of Pannaway Technologies is a testament to our focus and commitment to delivering pure IP and Ethernet networks to telcos," said Mark A. Carpenter, president at Pannaway Technologies. "We are excited to help NTELOS move their business model forward through the delivery of new IP-based communications services and we look forward to working hand-in-hand with them for years to come."
