Hatteras Partners With ATL

Hatteras Networks said Monday it has partnered with ATL, a value-added business development partner with offices in Hungary and Romania. ATL is a system integrator of fiber-based metro Ethernet equipment in the region and a supplier of metro Ethernet equipment in central Europe.

ATL selected Hatteras Networks as its exclusive technology partner for Ethernet over copper solutions as the company’s mid-Band Ethernet platforms meet the service creation, resiliency and reliability requirements of its target customers, the company said. Hatteras Networks Mid-Band Ethernet solutions have already been deployed in the region to address the E1 to STM-1 services gap, providing up to 45mbps of bandwidth to business customers without having to trench fiber to each location.

ATL will initially target incumbent and alternative operators that are delivering business services as well as those targeting 3G wireless backhaul applications, the companies said. ATL said it sees opportunity to replace the thousands of E1 lines used today to backhaul 3G traffic from cellular networks with Ethernet backhaul.

“Hatteras Networks Mid-Band Ethernet equipment is the ideal complement to fiber-based metro Ethernet services network operators are deploying today throughout central Europe,” said András Nagy, General Director of ATL. “We are at the beginning of a very large market shift for traditional as well as alternative operators as they look to better leverage the copper network to deliver valuable services to business customers and to support emerging 3G Ethernet backhaul.”
