OneAccess Networks have entered into a distribution agreement where CTD will distribute the ONE Series of Converged Services CPE solutions and provide Tier 1 and 2 customer technical support in North America.

The ONE Series CPE is a multi-service router designed for the SMB and enterprise with industry-leading hardware scalability and software flexibility that delivers complete convergence. With EFM and fiber Ethernet access technologies as options the ONE series is optimized for anew generation of higher value converged services for the SMB. The software-centric architecture enables service providers the ability to reduce the number of appliances required in the SMB LAN. With greater than 600,000 units deployed in more than 140 service providers around the world, the OneAccess OneOS is widely recognized as a field-proven, highly reliable operating system with a set of management tools that reduce the operational cost and complexity of managed converged services.

CTD offers service providers not only the capabilities of a distribution partner but the added benefit of a highly skilled technical support organization that offers real-time analysis and trouble-shooting of end-user customer issues. Working with the service provider, the CTD technical support team can greatly reduce the time to resolve installation issues by providing a thorough analysis of the entire LAN environment through remote access, resulting in a high quality customer experience that promotes customer loyalty while reducing churn.

"CTD's focus is on helping our VARs to be profitable by providing them with the best pre-sales engineering in the industry and a world-class support group that is focused on supporting the entire solution with best-of-breed products from LG-Ericsson, Easy Run, Zultys and now OneAccess.", says John Groce, vice president of sales for CTD. "Our in-depth knowledge of their products and the environment in which they are installed is what makes us stand out from the rest."

The OneAccess vision of hosted services for the SMB and enterprise is focused on integrating higher bandwidth access technologies and software features necessary for cloud services. The integration of features such as Session Border Control, security, WAN Optimization, and application layer monitoring and reporting that have been "scaled" to meet the needs of the SMB, greatly reduces the cost to deliver higher value cloud services to the SMB and enterprise.

"The benefits that CTD will bring to our service provider customers is an extension of our vision of Complete Convergence for the SMB and enterprise that is enabled by our ONE series CPE solutions," said Dennis R.Gatens, vice president & general manager for OneAccess Networks, North America. "As SMBs embrace cloud services, they will come to rely on the service provider as their IT organization to insure their business process and customer service applications are always available."
