Goldfield Telecom has reportedly joined the BTI Systems Channel Partner (News - Alert) Program. The company will introduce BTI Systems’ optical platforms to its customer base of 500 ILEC and CLEC service providers and enterprises across the United States.

 

Darrel Seaba, president at Goldfield Telecom, noted in a statement that carriers are running out of available fiber and need a cost-effective way to accommodate the explosive demand for high-bandwidth services driven by wireless multimedia, high-speed Internet, video and Ethernet Private Line applications.

 

Seaba said that, by offering BTI Systems’ solutions to their customers, Goldfield will enable the evolution from SONET to Ethernet by providing a way to multiplex multiple services onto a single fiber with a cost effective, scalable platform, both in the backbone and in the outside plant.

 

According to Pete Dale, vice resident of business development at BTI Systems, Goldfield understands the challenges service providers face when building out high-bandwidth service delivery in its markets.

 

Dale added that Goldfield is focused on improving overall network capacity and services scalability through overlaying Ethernet on top of existing SONET networks. Goldfield ensures operators can meet existing demand and prepare for expected growth, at price points that meet business requirements.
