“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

"Actelis Networks platforms have enabled us to deliver high-quality, high-bandwidth broadband services to our customers. Their platforms have allowed us to respond to customer demand for broadband services in areas where we had no access to fiber or were faced with expensive fiber builds. The ubiquitous availability of copper plant, combined with the innovative Actelis technology, has given us a competitive edge in the broadband market. With Actelis' EFM-compliant Ethernet-over-Copper platforms, we have the capability to quickly deliver the exact amount of bandwidth that the customer desires for either Internet access or wide-area network deployments while keeping our CAPEX to a minimum."
Al  Weigand
Vice President of Operations, North Pittsburgh Telephone Systems

"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

“The Actelis platform is ideal because of how quickly and economically it allows us to eliminate barriers to delivering high-bandwidth Ethernet services to a wide variety of customers,” said Al Harris, chief financial officer, Internet Express. “Since the Actelis platform uses the existing copper plant to deliver services, we have everything we need already in place to deliver high-bandwidth Ethernet services. This allows us to expand our service offerings and gain new customers, while keeping our CAPEX and operating costs to a minimum"
Al Harris
Chief Financial Officer, Internet Express

"The reliability of the data we carry is of paramount importance to Qwest. The performance characteristics of the Actelis EFMplus technology add to the already highly reliable Qwest service that our customers demand. The versatility of the Actelis solution to deliver DS3-level service using the existing copper plant allows Qwest to make its services rapidly available to a broader base of customers in a shorter interval. By teaming with Actelis, Qwest will help more businesses benefit from broadband services without the need to wait for fiber deployment."
Frank Turek
Sales Engineering Manager, Qwest GSD

"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
Senior Vice President, Engineering, Cincinnati Bell Telecom

"We have been delighted with the rapid deployment and reliability of the Cincinnati Bell LAN Advantage service using the Actelis ML1500."

"The Actelis platform is ideal for business environments that own their own copper infrastructure and need to provide high-speed, high-quality broadband services to multiple buildings. Actelis' platform allowed us to economically eliminate all barriers associated with delivering high-bandwidth broadband services throughout our facility."
David Kampsen

“Actelis’ ML100E platform enabled us to quickly and easily deploy high-bandwidth Ethernet services to a number of our sites in a very economical way. The solution also allowed us to tailor those broadband services to meet the specific needs of each of our sites. The fact that we were able to so quickly and easily use our private existing copper plant to provide needed services to our diverse and widely scattered enterprise made it a clear choice for us.”
