Leading Caribbean Carrier Deploys the Traverse Multiservice
Transport Switch to Modernize their Optical Backbone and Support
a Migration to Ethernet.Petaluma, CA, September 6th, 2005 -
Turin Networks,
a global provider of multiservice optical transport products
for wireline, wireless and private networks, announced today
that Tricom, S.A., a leading carrier in the Dominican Republic,
has selected the Traverse® Multiservice Transport Switch
to modernize their metro core infrastructure.
Tricom executives said they chose Turin's solution based on
the company's market leadership position and strong customer
references, as well as the multiservice versatility and reliability
of the Traverse platform.
"We evaluated a variety of technologies and platforms for upgrading
our existing SONET-based optical network to a high-performance
metro core that is optimized for next generation packet services
like Ethernet" said Valeriano Valerio, senior vice president
of engineering and operations for Tricom. "We were most impressed
with the ability of Turin's Traverse platform to provide any
combination of scalable optical transport, wideband DCS, Gigabit
Ethernet switching, and SONET-to-SDH gateway flexibility from
a single shelf, and determined it was clearly the best fit for
our needs."
"This is a very exciting time for the Caribbean telecommunications
market, and carriers like Tricom are paving the way by deploying
solutions like Turin's Traverse that enable a truly "pay-as-you-grow"
evolution to advanced services like Ethernet and the emerging
IP/MPLS based core" said Manuel Fernandez, regional vice president
of sales for Turin Networks Caribbean and Latin American Region.
"We are excited to work with such a progressive and well-regarded
carrier and look forward to supporting their success."
Turin is working with the company's partner in the Caribbean,
TeleNetworks Broadband Solutions, to provide Tricom with the
level of support and service required.
