Deltacom Expands Infinera Southeastern Network
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/—ITC^DeltaCom, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: ITCD), a leading provider of integrated communications
services to customers in the southeastern United States, today announced
the expansion of its Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN) Digital Optical Network into
Crestview, Florida and Columbus, Georgia.
Under its Interstate FiberNet carrier division, Deltacom responded to
customer demand for high bandwidth services in new locations by quickly
deploying additional equipment to support the delivery of 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps
and 10Gbps point-to-point circuits. Deltacom’s availability of collocation,
native Ethernet access and equipment-based Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
access to the Infinera network enables even greater reach for high
bandwidth customer solutions.
“Infinera’s technology provides the engineering simplicity and rapid
delivery of modules that make it possible to quickly and reliably respond
to customer demand,” said Jim O’Brien, Deltacom’s Executive Vice President
of Operations. “The Crestview node was deployed and multiple 2.5Gbps wave
services were delivered to our customer in under 30 days.”
The company plans to deploy additional equipment and services in
Tallahassee, Florida in the second quarter of 2008.
