SEPTEMBER 28, 2006 -- Interactive Enterprise Ltd. has partnered with Wave7 Optics Inc. (search for Wave7 Optics) to deliver an automated, end-to-end management and provisioning system for all operators of FTTH/FTTP networks.
Under the partnership, the companies will provide FTTP service providers with an integrated offering in which IE's automated provisioning and management system, Conexon, will interoperate with Wave7 Optics' Last Mile Link (LML) FTTP platform. The combination will enable service providers to rapidly provision and manage triple-play broadband services including high-speed data, voice, and video over FTTP networks in conjunction with the service provider's existing OSS and BSS platforms, the company's say.
With greater competition in the broadband market, many service providers are looking to add new subscribers to their network using FTTP technology. In doing so, they need to deploy both individual and bundled broadband services as quickly and as efficiently as possible. IE and Wave7 Optics' integrated FTTP offering will help their customers meet this challenge by automating the complete activation and management of services from order-entry through to individual access devices. This in turn will enable them to maximize revenue generation and manage the total end-to-end broadband experience for their subscribers, according to the partners.
"FTTP is the premier broadband access solution today, especially for the delivery of triple-play, but operators face challenges in integrating it into their existing systems for the provisioning and activation of new customers, handling customer changes, and keeping track of service orders in a highly interactive environment," said Emmanuel Vella, CMO for Wave7 Optics "Wave7 is demonstrating by this partnership that we are taking a leading position in the industry with regards to OSS and BSS interoperability."
Paul McBride, CEO, Interactive Enterprise, said, "We are delighted to be partnering with Wave7 Optics in delivering this advanced end-to-end FTTP provisioning solution. With Conexon's feature-rich service provisioning and management capabilities coupled with Wave7's powerful Last Mile Link solution, we are confident that our operator customers can reap significant cost savings and efficiencies in an increasingly competitive broadband market."
