Posted on: Monday, 7 April 2008, 12:00 CDT
LOS ANGELES and MURRAY HILL, N.J., April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- TelePacific Communications, a California-based leading provider of business communications solutions, and Alcatel-Lucent announced the expansion of TelePacific's existing network in Central California using Alcatel-Lucent's optical solution. This project will help TelePacific further speed service delivery including local and long distance voice, dedicated Internet access, private networking, and data transport services, as well as bundled voice and Internet solutions.
TelePacific currently operates its 22,794 mile network in California and Nevada. The $4.3 million project, scheduled for completion by the end of 2008, will extend and increase its aggregation facilities by more than fifty percent in areas including Bakersfield, Stockton, San Luis Obispo and Fresno. The network expansion will also enhance TelePacific's network reliability, throughput and capability, and reduce costs.
"This expansion is exciting since it means we have the ability not only to reduce outages, but also to eliminate single points of failure," said Russell Shipley, senior vice president, wholesale and network services, TelePacific Communications. "By continuing to invest in our communications infrastructure and committing to provide access to leading edge technology, TelePacific will continue to be a leader in the telecommunications industry."
TelePacific's network expansion, which will be project managed, engineered and deployed by Alcatel-Lucent, will use that company's optical transport solution, including the 1665 DMX multiplexer. This solution will provide TelePacific with a single networking platform designed for high-capacity voice, data and video transport.
"The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX multiplexer offers the flexibility needed to provide today's and tomorrow's services as it enables TelePacific to grow efficiently to meet future customer demand," said Gerry Cafaro, vice president of sales for Alcatel-Lucent. "Understanding the needs and the customer focused approach of an innovative telecommunications provider like TelePacific was Alcatel-Lucent's driving force behind developing a highly reliable, cost-effective solution."
