FREMONT, Calif. -- Actelis Networks®, the leading global supplier of Carrier Ethernet over Copper™ solutions, today announced that NorthStar Access LLC, a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) owned by Sherburne Tele Systems, has deployed the company’s Carrier Ethernet over Copper solution to provide better communication and connectivity between its retail stores and corporate office, as well as superior customer service to its valued residential and business subscribers.

To improve the communications capabilities within its distributed enterprise offices, NorthStar Access has deployed Actelis’ ML600 series of Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) in various central offices and retail locations throughout Central Eastern, Minn. The carrier Ethernet LAN extension interfaces seamlessly to Ethernet LAN equipment in Sherburne’s network. Actelis’ ML600 EADs create a bridge into the NorthStar Access’ local access network, providing all the locations within the distributed enterprise with high-speed Ethernet connectivity.

“We were very careful when testing various carrier Ethernet solutions,” commented Jared Holm, manager of the IS department at NorthStar Access. “When we analyzed the Actelis product offering, we looked closely at spectrum frequency crossover, since we use both ADSL and VDSL in the same binders, so frequency crossover was a major concern.”
