MillimeterComSpanUSA and Ledcor Technical Services Deploy Triple-Play Services over Fiber with MetaSwitch
May 10, 2006 8:00 AM
The continued demand for greater bandwidth and next-generation IP-based services has pushed many carriers to deploy fiber-based communications infrastructures. ComSpanUSA, a facilities-based CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier), and its development partner Ledcor Technical Services (LTS) are deploying a fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) network in Bandon, Ore., with technology and support from MetaSwitch, a leading vendor of carrier switching and applications solutions.
As a result, ComSpanUSA is positioned to expand regionally with multimedia-enabled next-generation services including IPTV and video on demand.
ComSpanUSA is installing the MetaSwitch VP2510—a compact, fully featured, integrated Class 4/5 softswitch—in its Bandon, Ore., switching center. The most recent addition to the vendor's IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) product portfolio, the VP2510 delivers next-generation services at a lower cost, driving greater business efficiencies for carriers.
"Our strategy for growth is to build and operate a state-of-the-art telecommunications system, which will allow us to differentiate by delivering compelling services to our customers. The MetaSwitch softswitch is a part of that vision," says John Stadter, president, ComSpanUSA. "Working with LTS, we determined that MetaSwitch delivered the best combination of native IP capabilities, residential and business-class features, and scalability with their new VP2510 platform."
