Etex Telephone Cooperative, Inc., a local exchange carriers in Texas, has purchased multiple products of Occam Networks's Broadband Loop Carrier system to provide its customers with Triple Play.

"Although we work with other equipment providers, we chose to bring in Occam to help us upgrade our network to offer IPTV and a complete range of Triple Play services," said Danny Johnson, Assistant Manager of Etex Telephone Cooperative. "We are deploying one of the largest Triple Play installations in Texas. To date, Occam's BLC implementation has met all of our expectations and their engineers have completed all the projects we identified on time and on budget."

Etex is deploying Occam's BLC 6252, 6440 and 6312 blades inside Occam's BLC 6012 chassis. The 6252-02 ADSL2Plus Blade provides 48 ports of ADSL2Plus with Lifeline POTS on the same physical interface to deliver voice, data and video services.

Etex is planning a mixed copper and fiber triple play deployment.
