"Actelis' platforms are ideal because of how quickly and economically they allow us to eliminate barriers to delivering high-bandwidth Ethernet services to a wide variety of customers. The Actelis platforms allow us to extend our value proposition of delivering mission critical, extremely reliable, Ethernet services to all our customers, including those only served by copper. Since Actelis' platforms utilize existing copper facilities, Allied Telecom is able to rapidly respond to business demand for fault tolerant, multi-megabit Internet access and Metro Ethernet services. Delivery of Ethernet services over multiple copper pairs provides a level of circuit protection and reliability not available with traditional T-1 service deployment. We can expand our Ethernet service offerings and generate additional revenue without dramatically increasing our capital expenditures."
Ken Williams
President and Chief Executive Officer, Allied Telecom Group

"Cincinnati Bell's installation of the ML1500 is an excellent example of our success-based capital model. Triggered by the overwhelming success of our LAN Advantage product, the deployment of the Actelis system has enabled us to cost effectively expand the service to reach more of our customers before a fiber build can be completed."
Dennis Hinkel

CEO, Cyberlink

“We have received positive feedback from customers complementing us on the increased speed and service offerings. The Actelis Ethernet access equipment has performed exceptionally well in very harsh outdoor environments this summer. We beta-tested the new system for nearly a month before deploying in July (2007), and since that time, it has been running flawlessly.”
Mitch Kuhn
Plant Manager, Farmers Mutual Telephone Cooperative

“A key component of our carrier Ethernet network is the Actelis product line, which lets us extend our reach to deliver high-speed data services over our existing copper plant to customers who have been traditionally out of reach. Only Actelis can provide us with a repeater solution that offers the high performance needed to backhaul broadband services.”
Frank Sarvis
Chief Executive of Network Engineering, Horry Telephone Cooperative

“Actelis’ successful ability to work with UK regulatory officials has enabled Kcom to deliver super fast broadband speeds across the legacy copper network without any service disruption or additional prohibitive costs. Actelis’ Ethernet solutions, supported by EF&I services provided by The Kenton Group, further enable Kcom to provide a broader portfolio of services that will help our customers achieve their business objectives to compete and succeed in their marketplaces.”
Tony Reeve
Product Marketing Manager, Kcom

“With T1 lines delivering only 1.5 Mbps, we would have to either add line cards to the router or change routers completely to upgrade the bandwidth service of a customer. The Actelis solution is efficient because we can leverage the same equipment for all service levels. This provides our customers the ability to quickly upgrade their bandwidth as much as tenfold without the need for additional equipment or the time necessary to process changes. When customers need more than a bonded 2xT1 line or have foreseeable scalability needs, the Actelis option makes a lot of sense.”
Kris Harris
Vice President of Operations, LightEdge Solutions

“Actelis’ carrier Ethernet solutions leverage our existing Metro network, allowing MetTel to deliver a more robust portfolio of high-speed services with fiber-optic reliability and enhanced performance to our valued New York customers. By deploying Actelis’ carrier Ethernet solutions, we not only exceed the growing bandwidth requirements placed on our network, but also deliver a reliable, future-proof network that is cost effective for both MetTel and our customers.”
Edward J. Fox III
Vice President of Network Services, MetTel

“As the industry’s most trusted name in EFM over copper solutions, Actelis’ superior performance of its ML600 product line played a major factor in Telekom Slovenije’s selection. We have been actively seeking established partners, and Actelis met our needs for robust and flexible Ethernet access solutions that we could deploy now for Telekom Slovenije’s national broadband roll out and then expand with us as we grow.”
Željko Puljič
MSc, CTO, Telekom Slovenije

“Access to affordable, managed Ethernet/IP services is every bit as important to customers in the rural markets that Windstream predominately serves as it is to large enterprises located in major metropolitan areas. Actelis’ Ethernet over Copper solutions enable Windstream to deliver high-quality Ethernet bandwidth to many of our customers for which fiber-based Ethernet access is just too costly.”
Don Wilborne
Senior Vice President of Business Sales, Windstream

“We selected Actelis because it is the leader in the Ethernet over copper space. The choice was made because of the proven robustness of the Actelis solution, and because the hardened switch is able to operate in harsh environments. Equally as important was the ability of the Actelis products to exceed our performance requirements, which provides us long-term investment protection by creating extremely reliable and much higher bit rate pipes.”
