Turin's Traverse® Platform Chosen to Link Last
Mile Connections Centers in
Major Metro Market
PETALUMA, CA. and NEW YORK, NY, May 17th, 2005 -
Last Mile Connections (LMC) and Turin Networks announced today
that LMC has selected the Turin Traverse® Multiservice
Transport Switch as the foundation of its next generation LMC
Centers to support its LMC Exchange nationwide. The deployment,
which has already been successful in New York, Atlanta, Miami,
Chicago and Los Angeles, significantly expands the capabilities
of the LMC Exchange, a neutral e-marketplace utilizing reverse
auctions for selling and buying telecom bandwidth services.
LMC is using Turin's Traverse platform to aggregate and switch
customer traffic in Tier-1 cities across the United States.
The versatile architecture of Turin's Traverse platform, which
scales seamlessly to support rates from 1.5 Mbps to 10 Gbps,
and supports any mix of SONET, SDH, Ethernet and wavelength
provisioning capabilities from a single platform, allows LMC
to offer a broad range of service offerings to their buyers
while minimizing both capital and operating costs.
"Our mission is to provide the last mile connection in the simplest,
most cost-effective way" said Tom Gambino, vice president of
network operations for LMC. "Our vision for the telecommunications
service industry took a major step with Turin Networks, as LMC
has eliminated any technological obstacle in the bandwidth market.
We are able to answer any customer need today and tomorrow by
delivering the desired service in the most affordable way. This
offering is truly unique and is revolutionizing the way the
telecom industry conducts business today."
As Turin's Traverse platform offers a high degree of interoperability
with network equipment from LMC's buyers and sellers, LMC provides
the ideal networking environment for telecom operators, international
carriers (SDH/SONET conversion), service providers and enterprises
(Ethernet, LAN and Internet services). Thus, LMC buyers benefit
from the ability to access thousands of buildings in every LMC
metro market - Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami,
New York and Washington DC.
"Turin Networks is proud to be such an integral part of the
LMC Exchange" said Richard Stanfield, vice president of global
sales for Turin Networks. "We are committed to delivering scalable,
flexible optical networking platforms that enable our forward
thinking customers like LMC to quickly deliver next-generation
services to meet the evolving demands of their customers."
