PacketFront announces alliance with Eterra as Value Added Partner

PacketFront, next generation broadband solutions provider, announces a partnership with system integrator Eterra Sweden AB. The partnership composes the first complete broadband offering, and PacketFront expects that it will lead to accelerated growth of the Swedish broadband market.

For PacketFront, leading supplier of intelligent and purpose-built broadband solutions, times are good. Recently the company entered into a strategic partnership with the Swedish system integrator Eterra. This is a partnership which PacketFront's VP of Business Development, Michael Engström, looks forward to with great expectations.

- We are very glad to enter into this partnership with Eterra, who with its geographical reach and experience within the broadband market has a great market advantage, explains Michael Engström.

- Through the unprecedented experince of the PacketFront team we know that it takes much more than technology to build a profitable broadband network, Engström continues. Through the combination of our solution and Eterra's knowledge within system integration, technical platforms and operation, the customers will have access to a complete solution with very good presumptions to bring them from idea to profitability in the broadband market.

- The partnership with PacketFront enables Eterra to offer a complete broadband solution to the market. They have formerly been missing a system for provisioning and control, purpose-built for broadband networks on a customer and access level. Eterra furthermore matches our own investments perfectly and we look forward to our cooperation with great anticipation, Engström concludes.
