Seoul, South Korea, May 3, 2005 -
Korea's second
largest communications service provider, Dacom, will be provisioning
a new nationwide network with the Turin Traverse® Multi-Service
Transport Switch platform. This move expands Dacom's network,
while allowing them to transition seamlessly from 2.5G to 10G
backbone capacity, and to higher speed services like Fast Ethernet
and Gigabit Ethernet.
Dacom commissioned CommVerge Solutions to provide the solution
for their Leased Line Network based on the competitive pricing,
effective project management, technical support and A/S services
present in CommVerge Solutions offer, as well as the reliability
and scalability of the Turin platform. CommVerge will be providing
Dacom the Traverse 1600 from Turin Networks, a multiservice
transport switch that unifies carrier-grade Ethernet, SDH and
SONET switching capabilities in a single platform that is optimized
for deployments ranging from access rings to metro and inter-office
environments.
Mr. Young Il Ko, Director, Government Account Team of Dacom
said"We are very excited about deploying the Turin Networks
Traverse solution in partnership with CommVerge Solutions Korea.
The Turin platform will allow us to provision a new network
related to our Customer Leased Line Network, with particular
emphasis on network resiliency. Once again, CommVerge Solutions
has provided us with a next-generation solution that can be
immediately applied to our network."
This project is another contributing factor to CommVerge Solutons

deployment of Turin's Traverse Platform at Dacom, CommVerge
Solutions has once again affirmed its image as a first introducer
of World Best of Breed Solutions in Korea. Since 2000, CommVerge
