Comtrend announces that Oklahoma-based Pioneer Telephone Cooperative has selected Comtrend’s CT-5621 Multi-port ADSL2+ Router as the key residential premises equipment to support deployment of IPTV and broadband services to its customers.

IPTV is a major initiative for Pioneer, which covers 30 Western Oklahoma counties. The cooperative chose CT-5621 routers due to its superior feature set and proven performance record established by a wide range of telecoms.

Comtrend’s CT-5621 is a versatile router that supports a wide array of residential and SOHO services at high-speed ADSL2+ rates up to 24Mbps. The device has four Ethernet ports and a USB interface; it also functions as either a router or a bridge, allowing multiple computers to access the Internet simultaneously.

The advanced IP/QoS features of the CT-5621 ensure good voice, video and data performance. IGMP snooping and proxy software provides proper traffic handling and minimizes delay on video and voice packets, resulting in a very high-quality service experience.

Other features of the universal plug-and-play device include IP/MAC address filtering, dynamic IP assignment and full firewall functionality. It supports remote, Web-based management and remote configurations/upgrades, and is TR-069 compliant.
