OneAccess Helps Carriers Slash Costs of Deploying EFM Business Services with Expanded Product Offering
PARIS, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –
OneAccess, a global market leader in multi-service access routers and Carrier Ethernet
access devices, today announced the company will market on a worldwide basis a fully
integrated access solution based on OneAccess’ sophisticated router platforms, which
leverage the performance advantages of Actelis [http://www.actelis.com/index.html ]‘
patented, award-winning EFMplus(TM) [http://www.actelis.com/technology/tech-efm.php ] and
Dynamic Rate Boost (DRB) [http://www.actelis.com/technology/drbdss.php ] technologies. In
addition, OneAccess will co-market Actelis’ product line of best-in-class Ethernet access
devices [http://www.actelis.com/products/eadevices.php ] and aggregation switches
[http://www.actelis.com/products/agg-switches.php ]. In doing so, OneAccess will help
carriers and businesses worldwide significantly reduce their costs of deploying and
operating SMB/branch business services. Advancements made in Ethernet technologies by both
companies, including consolidation of powerful Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking capabilities
into an integrated solution, make it possible to cost-effectively deliver a fiber-like
experience over existing copper networks, but at a fraction of the cost of deploying new
fiber and return on investment that takes only months to recoup.
“Service providers are calling for lower total cost of ownership,” said Bertrand Meis,
CEO of OneAccess Networks. “We believe that an end-to-end, integrated solution that
combines Actelis’ broadband access solutions uniquely positions OneAccess to embed
intelligence into sophisticated customer premises-based routers that will provide a
cost-effective broadband service delivery platform for business-class, managed and
cloud-based services.”
Lower costs and speed to market are clear advantages of an integrated Carrier Ethernet
over copper solution, when compared to costly fiber installs or non-scalable legacy
solutions such as T1/E1 lines, which are commonly used by SMBs and enterprises today and
already leverage the existing copper. However, scaling T1/E1 lines to meet the needs of
today’s SMBs and enterprises is very expensive, and cannot easily evolve to enable
next-generation EFM business services.
With the new integrated solution, Actelis DSLAMs will now identify the enhanced
OneAccess routers as native Actelis endpoints, all of which can be controlled as part of
the Actelis MetaASSIST(TM) element management system.
“SMBs and enterprises are at a crossroad today, faced with making a key business
decision on how to best move forward with next-generation, business-class services, but do
so pragmatically and economically without sacrificing bandwidth or their experience,” said
Vivek Ragavan, president and CEO of Actelis, The Broadband Acceleration Company(TM) and
global leader of Ethernet over copper access equipment. “Innovation from OneAccess and
Actelis pushes the broadband boundaries, significantly extending the rate and reach of EFM
business services to almost every location, regardless of geography. We believe the
integrated solution will enable carriers to meet customer demand cost effectively and
immediately.”
The integrated Actelis/OneAccess solution is available now, and features
mass-customizable versions of the ONE80A, ONE100A and ONE700A multi-service access
routers.
