Allied Telesyn Recommends High Fibre Diet for Europeans

European Business Development Director Champions The Deployment Of Fibre In Europe

Allied Telesyn, the end-to-end networking solutions vender, today announced that its European Business Development Director, Rami Houbby, Chairman of the Market Development Committee of the Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council Europe is championing the deployment of fibre in Europe, following the recent alarming Yankee Group report stating that mass-market fibre adoption in Europe remains distant.

In January, Houbby presented to over 500 of Europe´s major operators and service providers at TVoDSL 2005 on the delivery of Triple Play services over DSL and FTTH networks. More recently he advocated the deployment of fibre at the "Europe at the Speed of Light" conference, moderating a panel discussing existing deployments and forecasts for the future of the FTTH market in Europe.

"Allied Telesyn is involved in providing interactive high-bandwidth Triple Play services over fibre and copper access infrastructures, giving operators full flexibility," commented Houbby. "Europe is behind the rest of the world in its deployment of fibre, so it is extremely important for us to educate industry stakeholders about the business and economical benefits."
