Delhi Telephone Company Selects Enablence as Exclusive Supplier for its Ftth Deployments
OTTAWA, CANADA--(Marketwire - May 8, 2009) - Enablence Technologies Inc. ("Enablence" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ENA), a leading supplier of fiber to the home (FTTH) equipment for triple-play residential and business services and optical components and subsystems for access, metro and long haul markets, announced that the Delhi Telephone Company in Delhi, New York agreed to a purchase order valued at over $1M USD for equipment to facilitate its FTTH network deployment.

With a steady increase in demand for bandwidth and an aging copper plant, DTC needed to switch to a fiber-to-the-premise overbuild. After careful evaluation of multiple access vendors, DTC selected Enablence's Multi Media Aggregation Node (MAGNM) - an all Ethernet/IP network with active Point-to-Point fiber-to-the-premise, for all of its deployments.

"The partnership approach taken by Enablence's Systems Division, along with their reputation for customer support in the market, earned our confidence as an exclusive strategic supplier for Delhi's broadband, fiber-to-the-premise access network" explained Doug Edwards, General Manager of Delhi Telephone Company. "Enablence's MAGNM is clearly the leading platform in the market today, as it gives us a long term infrastructure that can change with our needs. For example, the ability to deliver either 100mbps or Gigabit to the premise on a per subscriber port basis with no performance penalty, is a key future-proofing aspect that enables our strategic business plan. Having 100mbps available per home has allowed our cable television affiliate to economically roll out high definition IPTV without compromising picture quality by bandwidth compression and rate shaping processing."

The current deployment using the MAGNM platform will serve 1100 homes; future phases are in the planning stages. DTC's penetration rate has been 75% in past deployments.

"The selection by Delhi Telephone Company of Enablence equipment for all of its deployments is an excellent example of how Enablence products are playing a key role in providing rural America with fiber-to-the-home services" said Arvind Chhatbar, Chief Executive Officer of Enablence.
