Hawaii Dialogix Telecom (HDT), a provider of local and long-distance voice, dedicated Internet access, private networking, and data transport services, has started a widespread Ethernet migration program to change its small business customers from legacy T1 services to new business class broadband services using Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) from Actelis Networks. 

HDT’s Dynamic Rate Boost (DRB) solution powered by Actelis’s (News - Alert) EFMplus technology is claimed by the company to enhance the performance and “spectral friendliness” of services delivered over its network. Actelis' DRB capabilities also provide the Hawaiian CLEC major reductions in CapEx and OpEx by optimizing the use of its access equipment and utilizing fewer copper pairs to deliver significantly greater bandwidth.

HDT's all-IP-based network provides business-class solutions on Hawaii's six major islands, where a majority of Hawaii's businesses are located. HDT's portfolio of services includes point-to-point connectivity, data networking, high-speed Internet access, and voice services. Deployed by more than 200 service providers worldwide, Actelis’ EFM products are used by a diverse customer base for a wide range of solutions, including dedicated networks, DSLAM backhaul, mobile backhaul, metro Ethernet extension, transparent LAN, and transportation (ITS) networking.

“Actelis' Ethernet solutions, with its new DRB capabilities, allow HDT to offer highly differentiated services, reach more customers, and deliver services at price points that offer superior value,” said Jared Grugett, president at HDT, in a statement. “Actelis' advancements in standards-based Ethernet technologies enable HDT to quickly deploy the advanced broadband solutions ourcustomers are expecting, and deliver them with business-class speed and reliability.

Joe Manuele, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer support at Actelis Networks, said that HDT has once again demonstrated that Actelis' innovative technologies can leverage existing infrastructure to meet the bandwidth demands for the next generation of IP-based applications. “HDT went through a rigorous evaluation process that included several of our competitors and selected Actelis because only we can deliver solutions that offer the greatest performance,” he said. “Consequently, HDT is delivering services that are differentiated in the marketplace at extremely cost-effective price points.”
