Centennial de Puerto Rico, the second-largest telecommunications service provider in the commonwealth, is using equipment from Occam Networks to add Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) voice functionality to its lineup of fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) Ethernet services.
Centennial has purchased and deployed Occam’s Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) system, including Occam’s BLC 6312 Optical Line Terminal Blades, BLC 6440-01 Optical Packet Transport Blades and 2342 Optical Network Terminals (ONTs).
The provider is Occam Networks’ first customer in the Caribbean region and its first business-only customer that is SIP-based. Centennial maintains more than 400,000 lines and provides wireline, wireless and broadband data services in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Centennial also offers wireless service in the U.S., in parts of the Midwest and the South.
