Fiber-optic network

Cincinnati Bell Telephone Co. will deploy the Fujitsu Access Transport platform to extend its standards-based fiber-optic network, add enhanced services and features, and improve service reliability. The platform combines access and Synchronous Optical Network transport into a single system. The first deployment is expected to be in Cincinnati`s western suburbs and northern Kentucky. Eventually, the platform will be installed throughout Cincinnati Bell`s network, which supports 900,000 lines in Ohio, northern Kentucky and southeastern Indiana.
