environmentally hardened FTTx OLT solutions, customer premises
portfolio and mobile transport technology. This includes 10Gig
solutions and Layer 3 switching solutions that support next-gen

NCTC and its members,” said Meggin Sawyer, Vice President of North
America Sales at DZS. “For innovative operators deploying next-gen
fiber networks, DZS supports virtually every FTTx deployment
architecture for maximum freedom of choice. Plus, our ‘deal direct’
partnership arrangement enables NCTC members to minimize OPEX and
capital expenditures while putting in place a cost-effective,
reliable, and maintainable infrastructure that doesn’t erode
margins with onerous license fees.”
To further support NCTC members as they plan, provision, test
and manage their new or upgraded broadband networks, DZS can
provide tailored offerings like network audit services, engineering
support, expert technical guidance, and access to its RDOF Amplify!
program designed for RDOF participants.
