World Wide Packets selects Enea's application development framework

June 21, 2005 Stockholm, Sweden and Tempe, AZ -- World Wide Packets has selected Enea's high-availability (HA) application development framework and OSE real-time operating system (RTOS) and development tools to provide real-time control and carrier-class capabilities for new products in the World Wide Packets LightningEdge platform, a carrier-class Ethernet broadband access system.

"Our high-availability application development framework provides advanced messaging services, event logging, web-based monitoring, and in-service upgrade management that should prove invaluable for adding carrier-class capabilities to the LightningEdge platform," comments Per Akerberg, president of Enea.

"As our Ethernet access solution continues to gain significant momentum with global carriers, we look to partner with best-in-class companies to ensure we are delivering the most reliable and scalable solution on the market," adds Michael Nielsen, executive vice president of engineering of World Wide Packets. "We choose Enea's application development framework because it provides a suite of distributed programming tools that greatly simplify our application software development. The HA framework and in-service upgrade manager were particularly helpful in accelerating delivery of these complex capabilities."

World Wide Packets says its LightningEdge platform enables delivery of simultaneous telephony, business, and entertainment video, broadband data, and Internet access services to business and residential subscribers, using Ethernet over fiber and copper media. The platform combines a central office access concentrator with access distributors and home portals, which are controlled by the LightningEdge Network Supervisor management system. The company says the platform is aimed at the municipality and utility markets, as well as toward MSO, CLEC, ILEC, and greenfield developers.
