Date: 8th March 2007 Title: NanoFibre delivers advanced FTTH services to the village of Radium Hot Springs with automated broadband solution from PacketFront PacketFront, the pioneer in open-access broadband networking, has announced that Canadian based NanoFibre has chosen PacketFront's unique BECS control and provisioning system for the deployment of advanced IP services throughout the Village of Radium Hot Springs in British Columbia, Canada. Working closely with the Columbia Mountain Open Network (CMON) on the regional Columbia Basin Open Access network, NanoFibre is offering fibre to the home (FTTH) to the rapidly growing community of Radium Hot Springs. The NanoFibre FTTH network will provide next generation bandwidth speeds and services at urban prices far superior to those provided by telephone or cable networks. "The PacketFront technology provides us with sophisticated new tools to serve our rapidly growing community," said Mark Halwa, Managing Partner of NanoFibre. PacketFront has successfully deployed open access FTTH networks in over 100 communities in 12 different countries. PacketFront networks have won awards worldwide including "The Most Advanced FTTH Network" for the Mälar Energy City Network. PacketFront's unique BECS technology allows for the successful deployment of networks serving anywhere from 200 to 2,000,000 customers. "PacketFront has industry leading products but our experience in working with clients to successfully implement networks is what differentiates us. We begin by understanding the business goals of our client and then provide the products and services that meet those goals. We will operate those products while continuously making sure the business goals are being met and when the client is ready, we transfer the implementation to them. Collectively, that is the PacketFront solution", said Matt Wenger, VP Sales the Americas, PacketFront. Targeted to deliver services within the community of Radium Hot Springs this year, the NanoFibre network will be a member network in the CMON initiative.
"The CMON
initiative develops and delivers community broadband deployments over a vast geographical
area – as such, it is vital that we can manage
member networks from a central location quickly and efficiently. The PacketFront equipment
and management systems deliver all this while significantly reducing operational expenses," commented
Dan McCarthy, CEO of CMON.
