Italtel & Teledata win in El Salvador

Teledata Networks  will provide an Access Network solution to Telefonica El Salvador, a part of the Telefonica Group, supplying wireless and wireline services, in the framework of its strategic cooperation with Italtel, the leading company for solutions and services for new generation IP networks.

The BroadAccess MSAG solution which is currently being deployed by Italtel in El Salvador provides a comprehensive one-stop turnkey solution comprising best of breed technology of Teledata Networks Access Networking and Cisco Metro Ethernet Equipment. The solution supports both a traditional V5.2 interface and an option for migration to IP/NGN, and will deliver a similarly varied mix of services, including Telephony, ISDN, ADSL
& SHDSL and Ethernet to subscribers.

The project follows an earlier success in which Teledata Networks systems were used to seamlessly migrate Telefonica Guatemala's Access Networks to NGN. The success of the Guatemala project convinced Telefonica
El Salvador to reproduce the project in El Salvador, which is considered in itself a promising stepping stone to further ventures in Latin America.

"The triple alliance between our companies has already proven its value to the customer," said Eran Ziv, President & CEO, Teledata Networks. "The blend of Teledata Networks' long-standing expertise in the field of Access Networks, with Italtel and Telefonica's regional strength generates a surefire winner."

"We are extremely pleased that Telefonica El Salvador chose Italtel's competencies as System Integrator and Teledata Networks' access networks know-how for the development of their network" - said Antonio Cassese, EVP
International markets Italtel - "In recent years, Italtel has attained notable success and it has increased its visibility in Latin American markets, thanks to relevant investments and the development of leading-edge solutions with highly qualified technological partner."
