SuperOnda Telecom Selects Zhone Technologies' MXK for Fiber Deployment in Brazil
LATAM telecom operator provides full fiber network with MXK and ZNID solutions
Oakland, CA - May 9, 2013 - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global
leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced a full fiber deployment
with SuperOnda Telecom, located in the city of Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro in
Brazil. SuperOnda Telecom will use Zhone's MXK solution and 24xx ZNIDs to
provide service to 3,000 homes in Volta Redonda. The telecom company is
currently building fiber OSP to expand service to an additional 5,000
subscribers in 2014, and 7,000 subscribers in 2015.
Brazil closed the first quarter of 2013 with 96.5 million broadband accesses,
according to Telebrasil. This is an increase of 37 percent in comparison to data
collected in March 2012. Fixed broadband, in turn, had a total of 21 million
accesses by March 2013. More than 2.4 million of those connections were
activated within the last year. These growing statistics prove consumer demand
is growing in the region, despite its current lack of affordable high speed
access and wireless technologies.
In order to meet this growing demand for high speed broadband, SuperOnda Telecom
is currently building 10G Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) rings
with Zhone's MXK Chassis, using ZNID 2424 and 2426 to provide advanced services
to business and residential customers in Volta Redonda. Zhone's solution will
allow SuperOnda Telecom to upgrade its transport without a heavy investment in
metro access equipment. The deployment will make SuperOnda Telecom the only
provider in the city offering pure Fiber-To-The Home (FTTH) services, allowing
the company to offer the fastest broadband speeds for its customers at
affordable costs.
"SuperOnda Telecom chose Zhone's MXK solution to upgrade its equipment, allowing
it to remain competitive within the telecommunications market in Brazil," said
Jose Carlos da Costa Hungaro, chief executive officer at SuperOnda Telecom.
"Zhone helped SuperOnda meet consumer demand by improving high speed access for
its customers."
Zhone's MXK platform is a fully redundant, carrier-grade all-IP platform and the
industry's first terabit access concentrator. Featuring industry-leading
density, scalability and switching capacity, the MXK provides non-blocking
capacity of up to 3,600 100 Mbps GPON subscribers or 360 1G Active Ethernet
subscribers.
"SuperOnda Telecom selected Zhone to be its provider because Zhone offered many
options for the company: products, support, stability and superior quality,"
explained Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone Technologies. "Zhone's
deployment with SuperOnda Telecom, following recent announcements with Ligue
Telecom and Klisa Telecom, showcases continued broadband growth and expansion in
the Latin American market."

ZNID please visit Zhone at FTTH LATAM, Sao Paulo, Brazil, May 13-15 (booth #1),
