KFAR-NETTER, Israel, May 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- FTTH Network Delivering Primary-Line VoIP, IP Video, Broadband Internet

    Telco Systems today announced that Broadweave Networks has selected Telco
Systems' Active Ethernet products for deployment in a fiber-to-the-home
(FTTH) community of 8,000 homes and 4.5 million square feet of office and
retail space currently under construction in Utah to deliver primary-line
VoIP, IP Video and broadband Internet.



    Broadweave works with developers to build future-proof, connected
communities. No copper lines are installed. Fiber is the only installed
infrastructure, making Broadweave the first to deliver primary-line Ethernet
and VoIP to residences in the U.S.



    Following initial field trial which began in 2003, Broadweave has
exclusively selected Telco Systems equipment for the commercial rollout of
their Triple-Weave Services at speeds of up to 1 Gbps to the estimated 8,000
homes and the 4.5 million square feet of business and retail space planned
for the community.



    The Telco Systems' EdgeGate CPE IP gateway product line and the T5
Compact IP/Ethernet aggregation switch will build the backbone of the
network. The Telco Systems' EdgeGate CPE triple-play gateways are located
outside subscribers' premises and connected to a T5 Compact IP switch located
in the neighborhood to aggregate voice, video, and data traffic.



    Larry Asten, Telco Systems President, said: "We're honored to be selected
for this historic FTTH deployment in which traditional copper infrastructure
is being replaced with Broadweave's fiberoptic "Triple-Weave" Services.



    Steve Christensen, Broadweave's CEO and Chairman, said: "We selected an
Active Ethernet FTTH solution and the Telco Systems products because they are
standards-based, carrier-grade reliable, cost-effective, and field-proven."
