CTC Communications, one of the largest converged communications service providers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, is deploying Lucent Technologies’ Compact Switches so it can deliver tandem switching and VoIP services to business customers of all sizes.
“We were looking for a solution that enabled us to offer our customers the latest advanced switch architecture while maintaining carrier-class reliability and traditional telephone service offerings,” says Aaron Bruneau, vice president of engineering and network operations for CTC Communications. “Lucent’s solution allows CTC to satisfy our customers’ needs while reducing operating and capital spending.”
One Lucent Compact Switch supports up to 100,000 subscribers.
CTC announced earlier this week it also is using the MetaSwitch softswitch platform.
