HERZLIYA, Israel, August 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teledata
Networks, a leading global provider of innovative Multiservice
Access solutions for NGN (Next Generation 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
