JUNE 25, 2008 -- Alcatel-Lucent (search for Alcatel-Lucent) says that Lincoln County Telephone System (LCTS), an independent carrier in Pioche, NV, will deploy Alcatel-Lucent's Triple Play Service Delivery Architecture (TPSDA). The company says that its architecture, which includes Alcatel-Lucent's FTTH GPON and service routing technologies, will enable Lincoln County to offer advanced services, including high-speed data, voice, video, and security services, to its customers in Lincoln County, NV and in the new town of Coyote Springs, NV.
"LCTS has been providing the most advanced telecommunications technology for three generations," said John Christian, president of LCTS. "We chose Alcatel-Lucent to help us continue that legacy because of its technology leadership in GPON, IP-converged triple play services, and commitment to FSAN standards, as well as reputation for performance and reliability."
LCTS also will deploy the Alcatel-Lucent FTTH GPON gear in Coyote Springs. Leasing capacity from LCTS, Coyote Broadband will provide Internet, video, and data services to all residential and commercial customers in Coyote Springs.
Coyote Springs, a new community under development 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas, spanning both Clark County and Lincoln County, was founded by Harvey Whittemore, a native Nevadan, real estate developer, and attorney. Whittemore's Coyote Springs Land Development Corp. is developing golf resorts and commercial products, while Pardee Homes is the master residential developer. Klif Andrews, president of Pardee's Southern Nevada Division, describes Coyote Springs as a "technologically advanced town that will offer a modern Western lifestyle."
As part of the TPSDA deployment, LCTS will install a broadband access network based on the Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU, a Full Service Access Network (FSAN) standards-compliant platform, and the Alcatel-Lucent 5526 Access Management System for element management. LCTS will also deploy Alcatel-Lucent's IP/MPLS infrastructure including the 7750 Service Router, 7450 Ethernet Service Switch, 5620 Service Aware Manager, and 5750 Subscriber Service Controller. Alcatel-Lucent will provide professional engineering services to support the launch of the new LCTS system.
