CLECs Deploy Tekelec’s VoIP and Broadband-Enabled Services

Tekelec announced that two competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), Burlington Telecom and Crocker Telecommunications have deployed the Tekelec 7000 Class 5 Packet Switch and Tekelec 6000 VoIP Application Server to deliver voice, Internet, and video services.
The Tekelec 7000 is a softswitch that integrates with IP and time division multiplexing (TDM) network interfaces, enabling a smoother network migration to VoIP. The Tekelec 6000 VoIP Application Server integrates with Tekelec’s switching platforms to enable delivery of voice, data, video and wireless services.
The new agreement enabled Burlington Telecom, the new fiber-optic public network operated by the city of Burlington, Vt., to deploy Tekelec’s switching platforms to enable the launch of triple-play broadband Internet, cable TV and voice services early this year for the city’s residents, businesses, and government agencies. Greenfield, Mass.-based Crocker Telecommunications delivers voice and data services, including broadband Internet, ISDN, co-location and Web-based hosting to business and residential customers in western Massachusetts.
