TeleSciences has partnered with local BEE company, Sirius Network Solutions, to deploy DSL test technology throughout Telkom South Africa. The planned rollout follows Telkom`s decision to implement TeleScience`s Tollgrade testing technology following an extensive evaluation and field trial process. This announcement marks the first step towards Telkom`s efforts to roll out automated DSL testing capability countrywide.
"We believe that Sirius Network Solutions would be an ideal implementation partner for DSL test rollout," says Noel Wright, Chief Operating Officer of TeleSciences. "Their implementation teams have extensive experience with diverse skills in telecommunications infrastructure installation work. By contracting with Sirius, we have further demonstrated our commitment to the BEE process in South Africa."
"We are delighted to have been afforded the opportunity to demonstrate our skills and capacity, and look forward to the challenges of this contract," said Sugen Nair, Managing Director of Sirius Network Solutions. "Our company philosophy is built on ensuring that the job done right first time, every time. Our team of skilled installers can add further value to the TeleSciences` proposition."
"The expansion of the information communications and technology sector has created a wealth of opportunity for companies displaying the value-added services and product knowledge, and they are refining the African telecommunications sector. The product technology is very exciting and unlike what`s available locally," Nair added.
"The technology to be deployed is a multi-layer, hi-speed broadband test and management solution used to accurately qualify potential customers for broadband services," said Wright. "The demand for ADSL in South Africa has exceeded as expectations and predictions, resulting in urgent timeframes for the testing service and its roll-out plans."
The Tollgrade Communications product, DigiTest EDGE, performs essential testing functions to support broadband delivery. This hi-tech solution allows comprehensive testing performance with the ability to identify and locate physical layer faults.
