Customer success stories

Cincinnati Bell (pdf)
The growing demand for broadband service, and rapidly expanding competition from cable providers, has created a pressing need for service providers to deliver DSL to customers served from Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) systems. Current solutions for delivering DSL from remote terminals are expensive to install and manage and don’t scale to support large volumes of users. To compete more effectively against cable providers, carriers need a fast, simple and reliable upgrade to their installed base of Lucent SLC® Series 5 (SLC-5) Digital Loop Carrier, the most widely deployed first-generation DLC in the U.S. For Cincinnati Bell, a leading local exchange and wireless carrier, the Ciena CNX-5 Broadband DSL System fulfills this need.
