3 Rivers Chooses Pannaway’s Convergence Network Solution

Pannaway Technologies has won a major deal with 3 Rivers Communications, which will be using Pannaway’s broadband access system for the delivery of new next-generation services — including IPTV — to its rural subscribers.
The cooperative will use Pannaway’s ADSL2+ and Active Ethernet FTTH solution to deliver a robust set of triple play features, along with the necessary bandwidth capacity to add future serives. Pannaway’s copper and fiber-based access solution will deliver SIPenabled triple play, including Primary Line VoIP for guaranteed Lifeline calling and E 911.
Broadband Aggregation Routers (BARTM) will be deployed in the cooperative’s central office (CO) for scaleable 1 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport, while Broadband Access Switches (BASTM) will reside in remote terminals (RT) for high-performance last mile voice, video and data delivery.

The ILEC will also use Pannaway’s Broadband Access Manager (BAM) to simplify the deployment and provisioning of its new copper and fiber-based network.
The use of IP-Ethernet and SIP allows Pannaway to deliver improved video quality with enhanced rate/reach benefits. Enhanced network performance coupled with 10Gbps transport scalability ensures that telcos’ networks are future-proofed, that they will have the performance and capacity to support emerging bandwidth-intensive services.
