Multiservice Access solutions provider Teledata Networks has signed a $16.2M contract for BroadAccess-1000E Multiservice Access Gateways (MSAG) for ICE, Costa Rica's National Electricity and Telecommunications Company.
Teledata will supply ICE with its new BroadAccess-1000E platform, an advanced IP -MSAG for delivery of voice and broadband services.
The project will enable ICE to transform its current network to IP-based NGN architecture for the provisioning of Triple Play services. The BroadAccess-1000E system offers an ideal solution for ICE's network migration by implementing ultra high-speed Ethernet design, advanced VoIP and IP capabilities, and resilient Ethernet transmission. Hundreds of BroadAccess-1000E systems will be deployed across the country to provide a complete range of services to residential, business and corporate customers. The systems will be installed in a Fiber to the Remote (FTTR) network architecture within hardened street cabinets.
Teledata CEO Eran Ziv said, "We see a strong market demand for NGN access projects throughout the world, for which our range of products has proven to be an ideal solutio¬n. This award adds to our steady business growth of the past years which is expected to continue through this year and onwards."
Six months ago Teledata won a deal worth $21 million to supply a major telecom company in Central Asia with its BroadAccess-1000E platform, having previously provided the company with hundreds of thousands of lines.
Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq: ELRN; TASE:ELRN) owns 21% on Teledata Networks.
