Enhanced
relationship
Enhanced Telecommunications (ETI) has
extended its relationship with Cincinnati
Bell to provide its solutions through
2017, including a complex migration of
commercial subscribers from T1 copper
to fiber.
“ETI already provides automated
provisioning for our fiber network
that enables Fioptics Internet and
entertainment service availability at
nearly 400,000 addresses in our footprint,”
said Ron Beerman, vice president of
network operations at Cincinnati Bell.
“ETI’s software solutions will now manage
a growing portion of the commercial side
as well.”
The T1 circuit management module
allows Cincinnati Bell to automatically
re-provision T1 copper records to its
existing FTTH technologies.
“This design and assign functionality gives
Cincinnati Bell the power to provision
and manage its inventory in a simple yet
powerful manner,” said Chris Beisner, ETI
vice president of product management.
The two companies have worked
together on several projects that have
helped Cincinnati Bell grow its fiber
network capabilities, including video,
voice and data provisioning via multiple
interfaces.
“We are gaining market share because
we have invested in the technology
and support that we need to offer
leading-edge products to both our
commercial and residential customers,”
said Beerman. “Our history of success with
ETI is why we continue to turn to them.”
