SaskTel has selected Symmetricom's next generation time and frequency solutions for a network-wide synchronization upgrade. SaskTel, one of Canada's most progressive full service communications companies, will equip its offices throughout Saskatchewan to support next-generation services including IPTV, VoIP and 3G wireless. SaskTel will source Symmetricom's products, engineering services and ongoing support from Empowered Networks, a leading solutions integrator and Symmetricom's key partner in Canada.
High quality time and frequency alignment is an essential network infrastructure component that facilitates the reliable transmission of voice, video and data.
"SaskTel awarded this network-wide upgrade project based on ease of integration and flexibility of Symmetricom's SSU-2000 product family, and Empowered's engineering and ongoing support services," commented Glen Emo, chief executive officer of Empowered Networks. "Empowered will play an active and ongoing role in ensuring successful implementation and cutover to the SSU-2000 platform as part of its Next-Generation Access Initiative."
The partnership between Symmetricom and Empowered Networks simplifies and optimizes the management of next generation networks, combining market-leading time and frequency solutions with the management of development, testing, deployment, operations and ongoing optimization throughout the lifecycle of IT projects, reducing costs, improving service and generating revenue for customers.
