Interoperability and Integration Testing Complete
MONTREAL, Oct. 31 /CNW/ - DSLcon Europe - Copenhagen, NHC Communications
Inc., (TSE: NHC), a leading provider of carrier class access and deployment
solutions for the Broadband and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) service market,
today announced positive results for the integration of NHC's newly named
ControlPoint(R) system and Nortel Networks(TM) (NASDAQ: NT) Loop
Management/Access Care application.
NHC's ControlPoint(R) system will provide cross connect capabilities for
Nortel Networks Loop Management application, providing Competitive Local
Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) with
end-to-end management of their DSL networks.
"We evaluated a number of cross connect products available on the
market," said Chris Drake, Director of Broadband Access Solutions, Nortel
Networks Service Provider eBusiness Solutions. "NHC's ControlPoint(R) strength
is its small footprint and its true any-to-any cross-connect capability. It
provides a strong complement to our existing Loop Management application,
offering additional flexibility in addressing customers' end-to-end management
requirements."
"The integration with Nortel Networks is a landmark event for NHC's
development," said Sylvain Abitbol, President and CEO of NHC Communications.
"NHC expects that a significant portion of its future revenue growth will be
associated with supplying ControlPoint(R) to service providers as part of a
complete solution."
NHC's interoperability and integration with Nortel Networks is consistent
with the Company's growth strategy with leading global Broadband and DSL
solution providers. ControlPoint(R) is based on an open architecture that
enables integration with a wide range of DSL solution providers.
