Telco Systems has announced an agreement with Platt, a value added distribution service company, in which Platt will market Telco Systems' fiber-to-the-home solution and triple play gateways to municipalities, utilities and electrical contractors serving 13 western states.
The announcement was made at the VON 2004 Conference and Exposition in Boston.
Platt, founded in 1953 and headquartered in Beaverton, OR, serves the municipal, utility, electrical construction and other markets with a broad range of voice, data, electrical and other products.
"As a result of this agreement, Telco Systems will be able to leverage Platt's established relationships with municipalities, utilities and electrical contractors serving new residential communities and office parks with fiber-to-the-home triple play technology to deliver VoIP voice services, video and high-speed internet access," says Dave Lee, Telco Systems' vice president of marketing.
"We're experiencing significant demand from our customers for the technology and equipment to deliver advanced communications services," says John Eddins, utility sales manager of Platt. "Working with Telco Systems, we can now deliver the triple play solution needed by municipalities, utilities and electrical contractors in the western states we serve."
