Actelis Wins Midwest Contract

FREMONT, Calif. -- Actelis Networks®, a leading supplier of solutions that enable profitable, carrier-grade broadband services over local-loop copper, today announced that Internet Express has deployed its MetaLIGHT® Ethernet-over-Copper platform. This deployment allows Internet Express to significantly expand their market by delivering economical Ethernet services. Internet Express is now offering high-quality, high-bandwidth Ethernet services to businesses throughout the Midwest using Actelis Networks MetaLIGHT Ethernet-over-Copper platforms.

Prior to selecting Actelis’ MetaLIGHT platforms, Internet Express was delivering broadband services such as DSL, T1, T3 and DS3 throughout the Midwest. While these services were suitable for some customers, many others were requesting scalable Ethernet services. With Actelis’ MetaLIGHT platforms, Internet Express now delivers economical, high-quality, Ethernet services utilizing the existing copper infrastructure. The MetaLIGHT solution allows them to effectively compete in the region without building an expensive fiber network to deliver high-bandwidth services, which would be passed along to their customers thus increasing the cost.

“The Actelis MetaLIGHT 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 MetaLIGHT platform uses the exis ting 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.”
